HUNGARY

Veszprém and Csetény

R&D, production, intralogistics | around 1000 employees 

The Balluff site in Veszprém in western Hungary, an hour and a half's drive southwest of Budapest, is the largest series production site alongside the two plants in Chengdu (China) and Aguascalientes (Mexico).  

Founded in 1989, Balluff-Elektronika Kft. was one of the first German companies in Hungary and has grown continuously ever since. Today, with around 1000 employees, it is one of the largest employers in the region and manufactures more than 4.2 million sensors, identification solutions, components for industrial communication and network technology, and other products per year in Veszprém and Csetény. From prototypes and pilot series to small and large series production, Balluff-Elektronika Kft. covers the entire production spectrum. Since 2023, a state-of-the-art AutoStore warehouse and picking system has ensured optimal production supply and distribution to regional Balluff distribution centers. In addition, Veszprém is Balluff's second largest development base after its headquarters in Germany. In addition, the location is part of Balluff's global purchasing, IT and quality management network. 

Balluff is regarded as an attractive employer in the region that sometimes takes unconventional paths for its employees: By choosing Csetény, 40 kilometers north of Veszprém, for a second production site, we brought jobs and long-term career prospects to where our employees live with their families.

The office for software and electronics development is located in the BudaPart Gate in Budapest. Due to dynamic growth, the previous location has been relocated to a more modern and spacious environment. Since 2022, software and firmware developers, E-CAD layout designers as well as SAP and purchasing specialists have been working there in close cooperation with colleagues from the R&D department in Veszprém. The new office not only promotes effective work, but also long-term relationships with the universities in Budapest, especially the technical faculties.
