The Chinese company Kunlun Chemicals is building its first European electrolyte plant in Szolnok. Using cutting-edge technology, the company will become a supplier for the BMW plant in Debrecen and the Mercedes-Benz plant in Kecskemét.
Kunlun Chemicals is investing approximately HUF 40 billion (EUR 100 million) in the project. The investment will create 120 new jobs at the new facility. KunlunChem aims to launch production in the third quarter of 2026 at the plant, which will have a capacity of 36,600 tons.
To establish the 5,000 square meters production area and an additional 700 square meters of office space, the Chinese company acquired 15 hectares of land between Szolnok and Abony from the state-owned NIPÜF Zrt.
