Bulgarian growth

Located near Plovdiv, the 4320m², custom-built factory now employs 131 people and its scope and product capability continues to grow as new machinery and processes are added.

William Hughes’ production is split between its UK headquarters in Stalbridge, Dorset and Bulgaria, depending on the type of product and the location of the customer; for example, products requiring a higher labour content are generally channelled to Bulgaria. Torsion springs are a particular area of expertise in Plovdiv and there is a strong local demand for this type of spring.
