Béres Pharmaceuticals Expands in Szolnok

The foundation stone of a new production facility for Béres Pharmaceuticals was laid this Thursday in Szolnok E Hungary. The Hungarian pharma firm is expanding its activities in Szolnok with an investment of more than HUF 6 billion (which is currently close to EUR 17 million).

Finance Minister Mihály Varga announced at the ceremony that the Hungarian government provides half of the amount as non-refundable support for the project that promises to create 69 new jobs.

The President of Béres Pharmaceuticals, József Béres,said that the investment was necessitated by the growing market demand for Béres products. The company will increase its factory area by 2,050 square meters by installing state-of-the-art technology, renewing the production of its flagship product, Béres Drops, a robot technology production line, and purchasing the company's production and laboratory equipment, expanding its storage capacity and developing its infrastructure, he said.

They have about 150 products on the market, many of them market leaders, and with the current investment, they will create the opportunity to safely meet the market needs of their products in the long term, he added. He also noted that their main market is Hungary, but with this development, they will create a secure production background for their rapidly expanding export market activity.
