Liebherr, the German manufacturer of refrigerators and freezers, plans to expand its plant in the southern Bulgarian village of Radinovo, the government press office said on July 26.

The company said it plans to spend 83 million euro on the project.

The cabinet approved budget allocation of 1.77 million leva for the construction of a 2.2km road that will connect the Radinovo industrial zone with the Trakiya motorway.

The road facility will also service other manufacturers in the surrounding area, such as Socotab, Bella Bulgaria, Industrial Commerce and Schneider Electric.

The project will create 600 new jobs, bringing the overall workforce to about 1 600.
