Description
Eissmann Automotive Hungaria, a subsidiary of German car interior manufacturer Eissmann Group Automotive is expanding the manufacturing area of its production site in Nyíregyháza. The expansion will result in the creation of 140 new jobs – mostly for blue-collar workers but also for a number of engineers.
The €6.7 million worth investment includes the expansion of the manufacturing area and the purchase of new machinery. The Hungarian government supports the investment with a subsidy amounting to more than one-quarter of the total investment cost.
The construction of the expanded plant is expected to be completed by the end of May 2019, while the hiring will start in the coming months.
The Nyíregyháza site is a center of injection moulding activities – and also of gear selector lever and driver airbag production – within the Eissmann group.

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.
