Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, speaking at the ceremony, said the opening of the center demonstrated Siemens’ confidence in Hungarian expertise and the company’s willingness to invest in Hungary’s youth.

Dale A. Martin, head of Siemens’ Hungary, said the new center would train welders and machinists, along with an added range of vocations following further expansion.

Siemens currently employs more than 2,500 people in Hungary.
