Ver-Bau had revenue of HUF 6.9 bln last year. Turnover was lifted by a contract to build a plant and R&D centre for the local unit of German automotive industry supplier Knorr-Bremse in Kecskemét.

Ver-Bau is owned by its founder, János Versegi. It employs almost 90 people, of whom more than one-third are engineers or office workers.
