He went on to say that he was proud to see the high-tech plant open in Sofia, adding that Switzerland had the most competitive economy and was a symbol of highest quality production on a global scale.
"As a result, our country is gradually turning into a little Switzerland," Plevneliev suggested, as cited by Sega daily.
The total investment in the new Sofia-based plant of the Swiss company "Reichle & De-Massari" for design, manufacture and assembly of fiber optic components amounts to BGN 9.7 M, which does not include a sum of around BGN 8 M which went to purchasing the building.
The new plant is to create 100 jobs by end-2012 and its output is to be exported worldwide.
