BDIA, a non-profit legal entity, was formed in 2004 by twelve leading defence companies comprising in excess of 6.000 employees with the aim to stimulate, enhance and promote the Bulgarian Defence Sector. The Bulgarian Defence Industry has proved its ability to produce high efficient and reliable products, recognised in many countries all over the world.
