Kraft Foods Bulgaria invested BGN 40 M in the chocolate factory in the northern town of Svoge, the company announced Tuesday.

According to the CEO of Kraft Foods Bulgaria, Franco del Fabrro, the investment is a show of the continuous trust of Kraft Foods in the good business opportunities Bulgaria offers and the country's important role in the region.

This is the company's largest investment in Southeastern Europe.

Kraft Foods is currently one of the most significant employers in Bulgaria, providing 800 jobs.

The resources will be invested mostly in new production lines. They will be officially launched on October 2, 2009.
