Dunapack Packaging Division, part of the Austrian Prinzhorn Holding, is substantially upgrading its production plant in Nyíregyháza in Hungary.
With an overall investment of EUR 5,7 mill (HUF 1,717 mill), Dunapack plans to systematically modernize machinery and infrastructure in its plant Dunapack Nyíregyháza (PC3), in order to further strengthen its production quality and flexibility, and to increase productivity and production capacity. The investment project will replace and modernize a significant part of the machinery and shall be finalized by the end of 2014.
The investment project in Nyíregyháza is made possible by the availability of European non-refundable subsidies for the North-East region of Hungary; 50% of the investment will be covered by an EU grant. “Dunapack’s strength has its roots in our high-level quality standards, in our innovative product portfolio that allows tailor-made packaging solutions for our clients, and in our sustainable production processes, based on 100% recycled paper as raw material for all of our packaging solutions”, says Alexander Enzenberg, Managing Director of Dunapack Packaging Division. “Our investment program will even further these strengths for the Hungarian market.”
The Dunapack Nyíregyháza (PCR) plant was built in 1971, primarily to supply the local agricultural production with paper-based packaging materials. During the last 20 years the plant has expanded to supply a wide range of industrial clients in Hungary and the neighboring countries with top-quality packaging solutions. The planned upgrading of machinery and infrastructure will allow a substantial widening of the range of packaging production and an outreach to new markets and client segments. It will also decrease the amounts of waste caused by production and lower maintenance costs. “Further increasing our production capacity and improving our quality as well as our productivity and operational safety will strengthen our competivity on the currently very sharp packaging market in Hungary and CEE”, says Alexander Enzenberg; Managing Director of Dunapack Packaging.
