Production has begun at the new factory of Swiss flavourings and fragrance producer Givaudan in Makó, south Hungary. The company has invested Ft 39 billion to build a high-tech factory in a greenfield investment, its 33rd globally and first in Hungary, creating 300 jobs by 2013. Production capacity is projected to reach 40,000 tons annually. Managing director John Pares said they picked Makó because of its location, proximity to the motorway and to Szeged, where specialists are trained at the university.
