Orgachim, Chemical manufacturing facility in Ruse, Bulgaria.
Orgachim is a Bulgarian company based in Ruse that produces facade paints, phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride and other chemical products. It was renamed from the Gavril Genov Chemical Combine to Orgachim Ltd in 1993, became a joint-stock company in 1998 and was privatized. Its registered trademarks include Fasagen, Alutin, Balkid, Ruvilast, Vinakol, Hamelekon, Protecta, Mefisto, Leko, Interin, Emanel, Blago and Deko.
The company began as a trading business in 1901 and evolved into paint production before being taken over by the state in 1947. Its return to private ownership in the 1990s launched a new chapter in its operations.
The name Orgachim combines "organic" and "chemistry", and the company's paints carry Bulgarian brands such as Fasagen, Alutin, Balkid, Leuko and Deko. These trademarks, registered for products from facade paints to enamels, tie the plant to the everyday vocabulary of Bulgarian construction and repair work.
Orgachim is an industrial plant in Ruse, not a site open to tourists; there are no guided tours of the production facilities. Its registered trademarks include Fasagen, Alutin, Balkid, Ruvoplast, Vinakol, Hamelekon, Protecta, Mefisto, Leko, Interin, Enamel, Blago and Deko. Contact the company directly about business visits rather than turning up at the works.
In 2013, the company reorganized into three separate operations, each focusing on different chemical specialties. This restructuring allowed each division to concentrate on its specific product line and market needs.
