Due to the highly increased need of confectionery packaging in 1967 year The National Unification "Bulgarian sugar" decided to build a printing plant within the State Sugar Facturies-Gorna Oryahovitsa.
The packaging factory was built in 1969 year and put into operation in June 1970. Its opening was carried out personally by Todor Zhivkov on 18. 06. 1970.
With area of 27,007 sq. м. and broken up area / area / of 18,204 square meters the packaging factory is the first modern plant for production of packaging made of cardboards, paper, polypropylene and aluminum foil in Bulgaria.
With its entry into service the Packaging Plant marks the beginning of a new stage in improvement in the quality of packaging in food industry.
The factory is equipped with the most modern equipment for offset printing and outer, flexo and gravure printing. Equipment was supplied by leading manufacturers as Man Roland / 9 offset machines and 1 varnishing /, Wildműller Holscher / 6 color dalbokopechatna machine, backed machine, 4 color line flexoprinting machine /, Bobst / two punch machine /, Kampf / roller blade.
In the 70 and 80 years establishment processes in packs over 400 tons of cardboard, 680 tons of polypropylene, 200 tons of aluminum, 400 tons of reel paper.
The plant works in three shifts with a staff of 270 people an average composition.
During the intensive capacity utilization in the middle of 80's a need to change some of the offset printing machine and a number of auxiliary and process finalizing machines arose.

The neighbouring to the present "Sugar Factories Ltd" confectionery manufacture named "Obreshkov" was acquired in 1927 year by the Chech engineer Pitska.For the needs of the manufacturing process the same year began the construction of plant for production of glucose.
Thus, in the late 20's of last century Rudolf Pitska created a complex of enterprises which production today we can call non-waste.
At the end of July 1948 all the factories owned by the Bulgarian-Chech enterprise became a state property.The composition of the new state company included all the factories owned by the Company except the coal mine and seed manufacturing station "Angie" which continued to develop independently.
Contrary to the sad fate of many nationalized businesses, "Sugar factory" bloomed in its development.
General reconstruction of the of sugar plant was made in the period 1959-1960 year..
In 1960 for the needs of sugar plant was built its own heating station.
Due to the improvements and automation of the process in 1965 the sugar factory became the largest on the Balkan Peninsula factory for refined sugar.

A major reconstruction of the plant for spirit was made in the same year.
Meanwhile some of the existing production lines were closed. The operation and functions at factories for glucose ,ceramics workshops and production of potassium carbonate and shpodium were ceased.
Two new enterprises were launched in 1969-1970: Repair-
Mechanical plant and Packaging plant.
Today ZAHARTNI PLANTS PLC is the largest complex in Bulgaria for production of sugar and its derived products. Located on an area of 1300 acres, the company includes the following divisions: Plant sugar confectionery factory, Plant for alcohol, Packaging Plant, Repair- Mechanical Plant, Thermal power plants.

Engineer Rudolf Pitska was born in 1881 in the Czech Republic.After he studied chemistry at Prague Polytechnic, he worked in sugar factories in Moravia and Romania, and in 1909 assumed the post of director of a sugar factory in Belgrade. Found opportunities for investments in the Balkans, he returned to Prague, where he began to seek investors for the construction of a sugar factory in Serbia.
For a long time his attempts remained unsuccessful. Fanatically convinced that he is on the right track, not being discouraged, and after enormous efforts engineer Pitska received support from Prague Credit Bank - one of the largest banks in the Czech Republic at the time, which agreed to build a factory for production of sugar in Serbia's town of Chupriya.
Construction completed in 1911year.That same year Rudolf Pitska prepared a new project - the construction for sugar factory in Bulgaria.
After building a factory in Gorna Oryahovitsa engineer Pitska was appointed the first Director and Chief of Bulgarian-Czech Ltd Sugar Industry ".
He died in 1952 at 71 years of age.
