Continental now has seven factories, a tyre sales business, a logistics base and an artificial intelligence development centre in Hungary, Róbert Keszte, who heads one of Continental’s local units, said at the event.
Including contracted labourers, Continental has more than 8,000 people on payroll in Hungary, he added. Continental has invested some 500 million euros in Hungary in the past ten years.
Finance Minister Mihály Varga said at the event that Continental was at the global forefront of developing new technologies. He said German-Hungarian bilateral trade had been record high in recent years and German investors were bringing the latest technology to Hungary.
