Description
Hungarian transformer and electric motor manufacturer Ganz will double its transformer production capacity at its Tápiószele plant.
The expansion will generate at least 200, but potentially 300 new jobs. The recruitment of new employees has already begun. Also, the firm has established the Ganz Training Centre in Tápiószele for the new recruits.
The expansion is a response to the rising number of orders, a reflection of the worldwide shift toward electric energy. In addition to a new transformer production hall, storage and transformer testing capacities will also be upgraded. The new transformer plant is set to begin production in early 2027, with a gradual ramp-up of production over the subsequent four years.
The estimated investment cost is €50.4 million, of which €15 million has been provided by the Hungarian government as a grant.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
