Like the Mercedes factory in Kecskemét, the Suzuki factory in Esztergom is also forced to shut down due to the global microchip shortage, the company told the Hungarian language Slovakian daily Új Szó, which reports that the factory will be shut down between September 6 and 18.
During the shutdown, the factory will provide rest days to all affected employees, which will be made up later within the working time frame through transferred days.
"By taking advantage of the production break, our company is implementing a number of innovation programs included in the annual investment plan. We will continue to exploit developments related to the ‘smart factory’ concept, automate new material handling tasks and improve the immediate working environment of our employees. And in line with our parent company's environmental objectives, we are taking further steps towards carbon neutrality," company spokeswoman Zsuzsanna Bonnár-Csonka said.
Suzuki switched to a one-shift production for a while in July, also due to the shortage of microchips, the news site telex.hu reports.
