Unilever inaugurated a new, 3,400 square meters production hall in Veszprém. With the investment of HUF 10 billion (EUR 24.4 million), Unilever has doubled its capacity as the new production line can make 720 sticks of Magnum ice cream per minute.
With around 600 million ice creams, Veszprém covers around a third of the European Magnum ice cream market. Production capacities at the new plant have been expanded from 80 million liters to 95 million liters and are expected to reach 110 million liters by 2026.
Unilever had invested around EUR 200 million in Hungary by 2020. By 2025, another EUR 100 million will be invested in the Veszprém plant and the Nyírbátor household chemical factory. The company also has a food factory in Röszke. With more than 1,400 employees at three locations, the company’s net sales was HUF 99.4 billion (EUR 243 million) and its profit after tax was HUF 2.9 billion (EUR 7 million) in 2021.
