Pirin Pellet was founded by an Italian entrepreneur in the town of Razlog in the Blagoevgrad region of Bulgaria. The plant was built in 2004 and began producing wood pellets in 2005, initially with a production capacity of 5.000 tons per year.
The reason for building the plant in this specific place was the availability of raw material – mainly conifer and the presence of wood processing factories nearby. In 2010, the plant was enlarged to its current size with a production capacity of 40.000 tons per year.
To date, the Pirin Pellet’s team includes about 40 people but their economy ecosystem affects about 200 people. The plant’s machinery is Italian, produced by General Dies, Pezzolato, Buzzi and PKT.

The company has always paid attention to European production regulations. It has been ENplus® certified for over 10 years now and the wood pellets produced are of both ENplus® A1 and ENplus® A2 quality.
From its foundation until today, the factory has made use of a team of engineers, mechanics and laboratory technicians who constantly renew the plant, keeping it efficient and safe for production.
The main market for Pirin Pellet is Bulgaria but their product is also well known in Greece, Swiss, Macedonia and Italy.
