The extension project of the factory complex in Jászfényszaru of the German thyssenkrupp has reached now an important milestone.
In the factories of the company various products are manufactures for the international automotive customers, including electronic steering systems, as well as components necessary for internal combustion engines.

After completing the production hall, the manufacturing units, machines and production lines will be commissioned gradually until the end of 2025.
