Construction of the 12,000sqm hall at the company’s existing base in Nyíregyháza started a year ago and is expected to be completed on November 14, Attila Böszörményi, the managing director of local subsidiary Eissmann Automotive Hungária Kft. told MTI on Friday. The company won a HUF 283 million European Union grant for the investment.

Eissmann has been operating in Nyiregyhaza for 14 years. At present, 430 people work at its base there, but the company has committed to hiring another 117. Böszörményi said the company had already met 90% of this commitment and planned to make another hundred new hires this year, bringing headcount over 600 by 2012.

Eissmann makes gear shift knobs and gaiters as well as other interior trim components for OEMs such as Mercedes, Audi and Bentley.
