As officially announced on 3 February of this year, our company has launched a new investment project with a total value of close to HUF 11 billion: our new plant is to be constructed in Debrecen, on an area of approximately 100,000 m², where starting from 2018 we will be manufacturing more than six million coil springs and stabilisers per year, creating 250 new jobs in the city.

Following the announcement, construction was officially launched on 12 May with a groundbreaking ceremony, much like at the Jászfényszaru plant last year. The commencement of construction works was announced by Levente Magyar, the Minister of State for Economic Diplomacy; Dr. Karsten Kroos, CEO of thyssenkrupp’s Components Technology Business Area; Matthias Koll, CEO of thyssenkrupp’s Springs and Stabilizers Business Area; Dr. László Papp, the Mayor of Debrecen; and Marc de Bastos Eckstein, our Managing Director.
