Organizational director Imre Nagy told MTI that the company expected to raise headcount by 20-40 from around 220 at present as a result of the expansion. He added that production is at nearly 100% capacity.
The company became a direct supplier to the Volkswagen group in 2014 and it has long-term contracts with a number of other big industry players, MTI said.
