Gotmar EOOD was founded in 1992 in the town of Suedinenie, Plovdiv Province, by the local businessman Georgi Tuchev. It was established as an auxiliary enterprise to Tuchev's edible-oil production business. Tuchev later also founded Nova Trade, the producer of Derby beverages and Bachkovo bottled water, which further linked the group to the beverage and packaging sector. In its early years, Gotmar produced preforms for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles and caps and handles for bottles made of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE). The company subsequently expanded into the production of plastic components for industrial customers, including the refrigerator manufacturer Liebherr-Hausgeraete Maritsa and other industrial enterprises in the Plovdiv region. This diversification into technical injection-moulded parts broadened its customer base beyond beverage packaging. By 2017, Gotmar had become the third-largest producer of plastic articles in Bulgaria, after Plasthim-T in Tervel and Hamburger Bulgaria in Sevlievo. In the same period it was the largest enterprise in Suedinenie, accounting for 39% of sales volume and 31% of employment in the municipality's business sector. By 2022, the company reported 1,290 employees and total revenues of 241 million leva. According to its official website, Gotmar's main activities now include the production of PET preforms, the production of caps and handles for bottles from PP and PE, the manufacture of articles from thermoplastic polymers by injection moulding, the production of packaging for the perfume and cosmetics industries, and the production of moulds.
