Description
The packaging manufacturer Dunapack, a subsidiary of the Austrian conglomerate Prinzhorn Holding, starts the test run at its new production site in Dunavarsány in the middle of September. After the gradual ramping up of production, the peak number of employees will reach more than 100. The recruiting of the workforce is already underway.
Dunapack is a market leader in the production of packaging materials based on corrugated cardboard. The cost of the establishment of the new Dunavarsány plant was approximately € 60 million. With the help of the new production site, the firm will be able to meet almost the total demand of domestic industrial firms for corrugated cardboard-based packaging materials.
The corrugated cardboard Dunapack uses as input is predominantly made of recycled paper. The firm buys the necessary input material from another Hungary-based Prinzhorn subsidiary.

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.
