The project, one of the largest industrial investments in Hungary, is a significant milestone for the industrial development of the region, according to Weerts.
“The modern and sustainable production plant built in Vecsés is exemplary not only in terms of its technological excellence but also in its environmentally friendly solutions,” the developer says.
“Once again, WLP has demonstrated its ability to deliver customized, complex industrial facilities ahead of schedule while at the same time taking into account the interests of the local community and sustainability,” it says.
“With the consignment of the hall, WLP has successfully supported Magna’s development, with the next milestone being the launch of component production for the target market, expected by the end of 2025,” WLP adds.
The collaboration dates back to November 2023, when the parties successfully worked together in Hanover, Germany, to deliver a 15,000 sqm hall.
The complex has achieved Breeam’s “Excellent” rating, recognizing sustainability solutions such as rainwater recycling and energy-efficient systems. Waste heat from the facility’s machinery is integrated into the heating system, while a solar panel system covering the entire roof surface is being installed, ensuring a complete green energy supply for the operation, says WLP.
The project in Vecsés (22 km southeast of central Budapest, close to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport) is divided into several units to efficiently support the manufacturing processes, while an office section with open spaces and quiet rooms provides workspaces for hundreds of employees. The location provides direct access to the M0, M3, M4 and M5 highways and proximity to the airport. According to WLP, the new factory will create jobs in and around Vecsés.
