About TEREM-HOLDING EAD

History, mission and organisational structure of the holding.

60 years leading the defence industry

TEREM-HOLDING EAD is the successor of the Military Repair Bases and Plants Directorate of the Ministry of Defence, established in 1965. Over six decades the organisation has been evolving from a centralised military repair directorate into a modern industrial holding.

The company is 100% state-owned, with the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Bulgaria as its principal. It unites five specialised enterprises located in Sofia, Veliko Tarnovo, Targovishte, Kostenets and Varna — covering the full spectrum of defence equipment repair, production and modernisation.
