The company added a 3,400sqm plant with a production line at the base, Molnár said. Annual capacity rose by 15 million liters from 80 million liters as a result, and is set to reach 110 million liters by 2026, he added.
The new production line will turn out 720 Magnum ice creams a minute, and annual production will approach 600 mln units.
Unilever's Magnum products generate one-third of the company's revenue from ice cream in Europe.
In addition to the plant in Veszprém, Unilever Magyarorszag has a household chemicals factory in Nyírbátor and a food plant in Röszke. Including its office in Budapest, Unilever Magyarország's headcount is over 1,400.
