About RUA Group

Our story began 14 years ago with a clear vision: to lead the barite mining industry through innovation, sustainability, and quality. Today, we are proud to be recognized as the largest producer of barite in Europe, holding 72% of the European Market, and the first company in the world to offer green barite – a breakthrough in sustainable mineral sourcing.

But barite is just the beginning. We also produce:

Fe Mn concentrate enriched for sinter plant use in steel production

Synthetic gypsum (CaSO₄·2H₂O), a high-purity calcium sulfate used in construction, agriculture, and industry

Steel pipes for infrastructure and industrial projects via our dedicated brand, BMT Trade

From drilling fluids and paints to construction and metallurgy – we serve industries that build the modern world.

Mission

To deliver world-class barite and industrial minerals through environmentally responsible and innovative solutions.

Vision

A future where mining, manufacturing, and sustainability go hand in hand – driving industrial progress without compromising the planet.

Our Core Values

Sustainability

We reclaim, reuse, and reduce. Our operations are designed to minimize environmental impact, from tailings recovery to efficient energy use.

01.

Innovation

We invest in state-of-the-art processing – micronization, magnetic separation, classification and so on – ensuring high purity, precision, and product flexibility.

02.

Quality

Our products meet the strictest industry standards, including API, ISO, and EN certifications. Each batch is tested in-house for guaranteed consistency.

The First Green Barite in the World

While others mine, we reclaim. Our barite is sourced from tailings containing more than 40 million tonnes of material.

We’ve turned this industrial legacy into a circular opportunity:

  • Closed-loop water system
  • Low carbon footprint
  • Zero-waste mineral processing

Our green barite supports the goals of the European Green Deal, ESG standards, and global sustainability targets – making us the preferred partner for future-facing industries.

“ Revolutionizing Mining: Today’s Waste into Tomorrow’s Resource”

Location and geological advantage

We operate just 10 km from Sofia International Airport, offering unmatched accessibility. Located in a region rich in barite and industrial minerals, our site gives us a stable long-term supply and logistical edge for serving both European and international markets.

Our facility is rail-connected, energy-efficient, and equipped for high-volume production of barite, Fe Mn concentrate, and gypsum—all from a reclaimed resource base.
