Seven years after buying the Denny ice cream factory in Veliko Tarnovo, London-based multinational Unilever is closing the plant. The company did not give specific reasons, the Dnevnik website reported.


The ice-cream factory will cease operations on April 30, 2025, and the warehouses will remain in operation until August 2025, according to Capital. The company told the publication that production will be transferred to other plants of the group. The nearest is in Ploiesti. In 2007, the group also stopped producing Kaliakra brand oil in Bulgaria and now imports it from its plant in Romania.


According to unofficial sources, the company, like many others in the country, is having difficulty finding skilled workers.
