Stara Zagora, Bulgaria − Standard Profil won a major project that includes the construction of the full range of rubber seals for the new model of Opel’s Astra, reported Standart News.

As one of the leading companies in production of rubber seals in Europe, Standard Profil has “won the trust” of giant Daimler and will also equip some of its SMART models.

These two long-term contracts will double the capacity and staff of the Bulgarian firm.
