Hungarian-Chinese joint venture Orient Solar is to build a solar cell and panel assembly plant in Berettyóújfalu (Hungary) which will employ 300 workers. The new hires will install integrated circuitry and plastic and metal components on partially finished solar cells and panels manufactured in China. Production is expected to start by November 2011.
Orient Solar intends to sell the solar cells and panels in Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia and Croatia. Company co-CEO Ferenc Galló said that Orient Solar would hire 700 additional workers by 2013 if there is sufficient demand on the market for the company's products.
