The French company Schneider Electric is expanding its Dunavecse factory with an investment of over HUF 15 billion (approximately EUR 44 million). The Hungarian government is supporting the development with HUF 1.5 billion (EUR 3.7 million), as the investment will create 270 new jobs.
With this investment, the area of the Duna Smart Power Systems (DSPS) intelligent factory will be expanded by 18,000 square meters, reaching a total of 46,000 square meters. The new facility will focus on low-voltage distribution systems. Production and testing of low-voltage distributors will take place in Dunavecse. Design will primarily be handled by Schneider Electric’s other competence centers. The company’s ZEG plant in Zalaegerszeg will continue its full production activities following the Engineering-to-Order (ETO) method.
