Pernik Province is a province in western Bulgaria, neighbouring Serbia. Its main city is Pernik, while smaller towns include Radomir, Breznik, Tran, Batanovtsi and Zemen.
Industry is of vital importance for the economy of the province. Pernik is the major manufacturing centre, one of the largest in the country with the "Stomana" steel complex; heavy machinery (mining and industrial equipment); building materials and textiles being the most important. There is an enormous plant for heavy machinery in Radomir which produces excavators and industrial equipment, but is currently not working with full capacity.
