The Hungarian unit of German company Schott, which makes specialty glass products, plans to spend 28 billion forints to expand its base in Lukácsháza, in south-western Hungary, creating 120 jobs, Péter Szijjártó, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, announced.
Hungary’s government is supporting the investment with a 3.3 billion forint grant. Schott will add production of prefillable sterile syringes to its Hungarian operations with the project. These products were earlier made solely at Schott’s Swiss-based unit, so there was intensive competition for the investment among potential locations, Szijjártó said.
