The company’s new investment of 18 billion forint (EUR 58m) will create 600 new jobs. Speaking at the company’s site in Soroksár, just outside Budapest, Orbán said Waberer’s was the top of its game against the competition in Europe, and every private Hungarian company should have been developed along similar lines to Waberer’s.

The prime minister said the government had “backed the right horse” when it signed a strategic agreement with Waberer’s.

The cooperation as part of the agreement will continue and elements aimed at improving will be included along the way, he added. In this way, Hungary’s favourable geographical position from a transport and logistics point of view can best be utilised, Orbán said.
