The company will offer 200,000 shares at a price of 110.50 levs each in the IPO. Proceeds will be used for buying equipment and for expanding the group's facilities.
The public offering is expected to attract strong investor interest as EU-newcomer Bulgaria is set to raise spending on infrastructure projects, in which Trace hopes to play a key role.
Bulgaria joined the EU in January.
