The new steel plant in Litér offers increased capacity due to the expanded area, as well as improved facilities for warehousing, work preparation and intralogistics. Investments were also made in modern machine tools and machining centres for mechanical processing as well as for flame and laser cutting. “With the new plant, we are supplementing our previous steel component production in Balatonfüred. The locations are also logistically connected via plant traffic,” says managing director Michael Seiferling.

The investment created 80 new jobs and in addition to the production hall, modern office space and a canteen for employees were also created on the 13ha area. The sustainability aspect also played a key role in the design of the new location. For example, the plant was equipped with a photovoltaic system so that it will be energy self-sufficient with the electrical power generated from the PV system. The office building is also heated with energy efficient underfloor heating and the production hall with low temperature heating via concrete core activation.
