Hungary’s largest automotive painting plant is under construction

2024. 09. 12.

With a current investment of EUR 22 million, the Tatabánya site of Aalberts Surface Technologies, which specialises in metal surface treatment technology, will expand into a centre that meets the needs of the region's car manufacturers as well as its domestic partners.

The Dutch company, which has been operating in Hungary for nearly 25 years, will invest in a 10,700 m2 building complex that will accommodate the proposed production lines and a new logistics area. In the future, the development will introduce new, state-of-the-art technology and provide a complex service in the field of corrosion-resistant coatings.

Due to the investment, Aalberts in Tatabánya will become Hungary's largest contract painting plant, making it an essential player in the entire Hungarian automotive ecosystem. The expanded production activities may commence next year.

The Group, present in more than 50 countries worldwide, will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2025. Main markets for their unique solutions include integrated piping and multi-layer systems, heat and surface treatment, hydraulic flow, and fluid control.
