Szijjarto inaugurates Ford logistics centre in C Hungary

Car manufacturers are continuing to bring engineering, development and service facilities to Hungary, Peter Szijjarto, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, said at the inauguration of carmaker Ford's logistics centre in Biatorbagy, near Budapest, on Monday. The centre will serve 15 countries in central and eastern Europe, Szijjarto noted. The 10,000sqm warehouse centre was built with a 3 billion forint (EUR 8.4m) investment, he said. Szijjarto said the number of jobholders now was nearly at the same level as before the coronavirus outbreak, and the economy benefitted from a new record FDI in 2020, while Hungarian exports exceeded 100 billion euros.
