Ceramic tile maker Tondach has announced on Wednesday it is to inaugurate a new EUR 50 million plant in Bekescsaba, southeast Hungary on 27 March.
The project was co-financed with the European Regional Development Fund and Tondach was granted a HUF 500 million (EUR 1.66 m) non-refundable loan from Hungary under the New Hungary Development Programme.
Tondach's new facility, which is to be officially started up on 27 March in Bekescsaba, will use cutting-edge technology and be the largest roof tile plant in Europe. Output capacity will be 30 million roof and 2.5 million profile tiles a year. This is enough to cover about three million square metres, i.e. the roof of 15,000 houses. The new plant will boost Tondach's capacity by 50%.
The 235 metre long kiln in the factory that sprawls on 25,000 square metres is the largest of its kind in the world. The new facility, which produced the first prototype of a new Tondach tile in November 2008, is to create 60 jobs.
The Tondach Group is a leading ceramic roof tile maker in Central and Eastern Europe. It has been expanding in Eastern Europe since 1992. Tondach is present in 11 countries with 34 factories, five of them in Hungary. In Eastern Europe it has invested nearly EUR 400 million between 1992 and 2008.
The concern posted revenues of EUR 248 million in 2007, up from EUR 220 m in 2006.
