Békés Drén Kft. has invested HUF 5 billion (approx. EUR 13 million) in the expansion of its site. The Békés-based company received half of the investment from the GINOP Plus program and raised the other half from its own funds and loans.
The funds were used to build a 3,900 square meters industrial center in which design, development, production, assembly and maintenance are integrated. In addition, two piling machines were purchased for HUF 1.3 billion (EUR 3.25 million) each.
The acquisition of these technologies makes Békés Drén the market leader in the premium segment in Hungary and neighboring countries. Békés Drén Kft. has been a 100% Hungarian-owned company since its foundation in 1996. It currently employs 180 people in the fields of hydraulic engineering, environmental protection and special civil engineering.
In 2023, Békés Drén achieved net sales of HUF 12.8 billion (EUR 32 million), compared to HUF 8.8 billion (EUR 22 million) in the previous year. Net profit rose from HUF 1.1 billion (EUR 2.75 million) to HUF 2.7 billion (EUR 6.75 million) during this period.
