Israeli manufacturing company expands to Europe amid rising geopolitical tensions

4Model's visit to Bulgaria came shortly after Sofia allocated new, dedicated budgets for upgrading its defense capabilities

As security concerns intensify across Europe, Israeli manufacturing company 4Model is looking to expand its military production capacity on the continent.

Founded by CEO On Golan in 2012, 4Model is a dual-use, one-stop-shop manufacturing company specializing in machining, electronic packaging, and 3D printing, serving customers across various sectors, including hi-tech, medicine, education, military, and security.

Golan and other senior company officials recently completed a high-profile roadshow in Sofia, Bulgaria, hosted by former Bulgarian president Rosen Plevneliev. Meetings were held across the country with senior government and industrial stakeholders, focusing on Bulgaria’s growing security needs and the potential to integrate Israeli solutions into the country’s defense systems.

Plevneliev, Bulgaria’s fourth president from 2012 to 2017 and the Bulgarian representative and partner at the Israeli innovation platform IMPROVATE, played a central role in organizing the visit. IMPROVATE specializes in connecting Israeli technologies with governments and industries worldwide.

“In recent years, we have been bringing the very best of Israeli companies to Bulgaria,” he said. “The visit of the Israeli company generated great interest within the local industry, and we introduced them to the most senior stakeholders in the country, who also expressed significant interest in the service.”
