The chief executives of Hungarian company LAC Holding and Romania’s Softronic signed on Tuesday a document on setting up a joint venture that would manufacture railways engines in Hungary, national news agency MTI reported.
Economy ministry state secretary Béla Glattfelder said the Hungarian government and the ministry would support the launch of the Hungarian engine production. The JV could create 50 new jobs on the short term and 250 jobs on the longer run, among them highly qualified jobs, according to Glattfelder.
