Van Genechten Packaging (VGP) are investing, according to their strategic road map, and opening a second plant in Komárom, Hungary to expand both their footprint and capacity. The plant has been commissioned in record time and will pick up production this month. 

The new plant in Komárom sees VGP expanding their network as well as investing in a region where they see strong market growth and is up and running in record time. Prof. Dr. Frank Ohle, CEO of Van Genechten Packaging said: “I am delighted to welcome VG Komárom II to the VGP family and just as delighted that we have been able to go from taking a decision to starting production in just 14 months.”

The second plant in Komárom, a sister to VGP's original plant on the banks of the Danube in the northern Hungarian city, consists of a 10,000 m² production building, offices and warehousing for raw materials and finished goods. Once fully operational it will create more than 100 jobs in the local economy
