The place of machine parts production in the restructuring Bulgarian industry

Abstract

The end of the 20th century was quite stormy and left its mark in all fields of human existence. Moreover, it faced the human race with new challenges and trials. One of them is the wholly change in the economic system of society. The Bulgarian economy was also not pass of such changes. They were accompanied by large and painful transformations and turbulence. One of the most affected areas was industrial production. Its restructuring, the emergence and overcoming of various asymmetry continues to this day. At the present time, when we talk about the “new Industrial Revolution”, the digitization of the processes in the economy, when the world switched to Industry 4.0 the problem with the construction of a modern and competitive industrial sector is even more topical. An important part of this sector is the “machine parts production” industry. Over the years it also underwent a number of dips and transformations, but managed to maintain its position and lead role in the Bulgarian industry.
