Szeplast will build the new unit at its existing site in Szeged, southeast Hungary, in the first half of next year, Csikos said, adding that the company will also expand its warehouse there.
Szeplast, which also produces raw materials for other plastic products, will hire as many as 30 new employees, bringing the total to 130. The company may further expand production in 2008 depending on demand, Csikos added.
