Description
In March 2009, call center operator Binax C C created 120 new jobs at its site in Zalaegerszeg (Zala county). The company, which initiated operations there in 2006, previously employed 110 employees. With the newly renovated building the Zalaegerszeg plant's headcount has raised to 230. In the new expanded site some other important investments were also made, like the installation of a small electric plant, using diesel, which serves in case of power cuts.
The company also operates in Budapest, Pécs (Baranya county) and Nagykanizsa (Zala county). Prior to the expansion, the company employed 450 workers nationwide.
