Samsonite Hungaria Bőrönd has built a 4,400 square metre production hall and installed new technology, increasing capacity by 28% and creating 50 new jobs.

Plant manager József Pinczel said the plant currently produces 700 suitcases a day using the new technology; output will be increased to 900 units a day in a few months.

The plant turns out about 700,000 suitcases a year.

The company said the development is part of a 17 million euro six-year programme, supported with 5 million euros in European Union funding.
