U.S. contact lens manufacturer to invest $40 mln in Hungarian plant
U.S. contact lens manufacturer CooperVision is to invest $40 mln over the next three years at its unit in Gyál, near Budapest, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said yesterday, Hungarian news agency MTI reported. The investment will create 400 jobs, he added.
CooperVision turned out 625 million contact lenses in Gyál last year, and the investment will double over three years, the minister said. CooperVision exports 99.7% of its Hungarian output. Even with the remaining 0.3%, CooperVision is a market leader in Hungary, company president Daniel G. McBride said. McBride said his company acquired U.K. peer Sauflon last year, which had a unit in Gyál, established ten years earlier.
