Halton celebrated the opening of its new factory in Hungary

Halton, one of the leading suppliers of indoor climate solutions world-wide, celebrated the opening of its new production facility in Dunaharaszti. The facility has enabled Halton to expand production of air filtration product lines. Halton has also started production of indoor climate systems and components in Dunaharaszti.

Halton has operated in Hungary already for six years. Due to growing demand, Halton has moved a larger production facility in Dunaharaszti 19 kilometers from Budapest. The new location has enabled Halton to start production of indoor climate system components and to increase air filtration production capacity.  In addition to the production capability Halton has expanded its sales and customer service network considerably. Now the new covers whole Hungary and offers personal service in most of the regions.

Dunaharaszti factory further improves customer service and product offering both for Hungarian customers as well as for the Central and Eastern Europe markets as a whole. Locally manufactured product line will extend from filtration and indoor climate products and solutions.  - In addition to manufacturing of air diffusion components for market segments like: offices, hotels, health care, shopping/entertainment centers, airports and industry, the unit will also concentrate on building indoor climate system solutions for Central and Eastern European market needs. As a result we are able to offer new solutions for different segments from office to hotels and health care as tailored to local needs. Being close to the market will mean faster service for our clients, comments Tomasz Palka, Regional Director from Halton Indoors business area.

- Our Hungarian customers will benefit from the expansion. Strengthening operations in Hungary by establishing wider production and sales unit enables us to serve our customers better and faster. Investment will also improve Halton’s appearance in the market for being a leading supplier of indoor climate and systems, says Tuomas Qvick, Halton Clean Air’s Managing Director.
