Bulmarket DM OOD (Bulgarian: „Булмаркет ДМ“ ЕООД) is a private company, registered in 1996, based in the Bulgarian city of Ruse.

Operations

Petroleum derivatives

The company is one of the largest importers and exporters of LPG in Bulgaria.^[1] It has four terminals for gas and oil products in Bulgaria (Byala and Plovdiv) and Romania (Galați and Giurgiu), railway and tank trucks for gas and a ship-gas carrier for propane-butane. Imports are sourced from Russia, Kazakhstan and Romania for onward supply to customers in Bulgaria and the adjoining countries. The Galați terminal is located in an economic free zone to reduce the impact of customs. Bulmarket are also suppliers of diesel and petrol.

Compressed natural gas

The company has built a network of its own methane stations, supplying CNG to industrial consumers.^[3]

Alternative fuels

The company has had a biodiesel plant since 2008 and a crude vegetable oil plant since 2012.
