The strategic decision to expand production with a new location within the EU was made in 2019. In order to find the right location, the Swiss investors turned to Switzerland Global-Enterprise (S-GE), where they were presented with possible locations. The choice fell on a project in Hungary, which was consistently supported by Swisscham Hungary, the official partner of S-GE and the associated Swiss Business Hub Central Europe. The location decision was made in the course of this year and the project could be carried out without any complications.

The first products are going to leave the new production hall of M+S Ceramics Kft. by the end of January 2022, which will enable investors to advance in their international growth strategy. The establishment of production could then also be followed by the establishment of a new sales department or the establishment of research and development activities.
