- Chernomorski Holding AD is a diversified investment holding company headquartered in Burgas, Bulgaria. Founded in November 1996 as a privatization fund under the name Neftohim Invest Holding AD and subsequently rebranded in 2002, the company trades publicly on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CHL. Chernomorski Holding AD specializes in the acquisition, management, valuation, restructuring, and strategic disposal of equity participations in Bulgarian and international enterprises, operating primarily across the domestic Bulgarian market and the wider Southeastern European region.
The company operates across multiple business segments encompassing financial investment, real estate development, logistics, intellectual property, and commercial trade. Its core portfolio of services and business activities includes: equity investment and portfolio management, involving the acquisition, strategic oversight, and divestment of majority and minority stakes in commercial and industrial enterprises; corporate financing and treasury services, providing intra-group lending, debt financing, financial leasing, and commercial paper transactions to subsidiaries and affiliate entities; real estate and infrastructure development, encompassing the acquisition, development, leasing, and facility management of industrial zones, warehousing complexes, and logistics hubs, primarily via its subsidiary Logistics Park Burgas OOD; intellectual property management, comprising the acquisition, appraisal, and commercial licensing of industrial patents, proprietary technologies, and trade rights; and commercial brokerage and trade intermediation, facilitating wholesale distribution and transactions in petroleum derivatives, industrial supplies, and commodities. Additionally, the company oversees diversified business interests in hospitality, tourism services, publishing, and agricultural asset management through entities such as Primorets Turist AD, Mse Kameno-2 EOOD, and Strand BG EOOD.
In recent corporate and financial developments, Chernomorski Holding AD has streamlined its balance sheet and advanced its industrial infrastructure strategy. In 2026, the company completed the full repayment and settlement of its corporate bond issue (ISIN BG2100006191 / BSE code: 5L3A), resulting in the formal delisting of the issue from the Bonds Segment of the Bulgarian Stock Exchange and its deregistration by the Financial Supervision Commission. The holding maintains structured long-term debt facilities with payment schedules extending through 2032 to fund its active investment pipeline. Operationally, the company continues to expand its logistics and industrial property holdings in the Burgas region, channeling capital into Logistics Park Burgas OOD (90% ownership) while optimizing portfolio assets to adapt to evolving regional commercial trade and transport demand.
