Sensirion’s product range has high added value and they use their products on a wide range from healthcare to the automotive industry. The Swiss company spends 24 percent of its sales on research and development, they said.
As part of the on-site collaboration, Sensirion regularly provides free factory visits to ISD students at the Debrecen plant. With the help of their employees, they will give career counseling to ISD students, and they will give demonstration lectures at ISD 1-2 times a year, according to the agreement, which also includes opportunities to consult with teachers.
Sensirion has built its first manufacturing plant outside the mainland in Debrecen and will create 200 new jobs by 2025. In addition to the production plant, a research and development (R&D) center will be set up on-site, where sensors are currently being manufactured for ventilators for medical use.
