Construction
To begin construction in Koszárhegy, a three story, 4 452 square-metre warehouse was erected. The first floor was built specifically as an assembly plant, with the aim of supplying raw materials to production plants as quickly as possible. The plant was also built to store raw materials and finished products that are easily accessible to employees. The plant is more complex than previously existing assembly warehouses, and was designed with employees in mind to provide a comfortable atmosphere that encourages more efficient production. Simon István, a private contractor specialising in plastic moulding, owns and operates the site.
Impact
As a result of the project, Simon István’s company has tripled its capacity to store raw materials, semi-finished and finished products. Bottlenecks have essentially been eliminated, resulting in more efficient, larger batch production. Throughout the project, 171 jobs were maintained, and 51 new employees were recruited.
