Description
Audi Hungary has announced to have increased its workforce by 400 in 2011, the number of employees increased from 6,100 in 2010 and from 5,700 in 2009. This significant grow is due to the expanding demands of its customers.
The company is to receive an additional HUF 2.1 billion in state aids for the pressing plant in Győr bringing the total amount of subsidies allocated to the investment to HUF 13.3 billion. Production is expected to start next spring; four Audi models will be manufactured from the second quarter of 2013.
