Continest Manufacturing Plant in Székesfehérvár

Continest Technologies has opened its factory producing foldable containers in Székesfehérvár. The Hungarian-owned company that uses innovative technology will be able to produce 1,200 foldable containers per year in its nearly 4,000-sqm plant.

More than HUF 680 million has been spent on the mechanization of the production plant this year, and considerable improvements are planned in the upcoming years to further expand the machine park and factory capacity. The investment will create 40 new jobs by the end of the year, and the headcount will further increase in the next three years.

Offering innovative solutions, Continest Technologies Plc. has developed a modular foldable container, which with its easy transportability and practicality, can be of great help for the organizers of various events, if necessary, even for medical purposes. Continest's products have already proven themselves in a number of areas and countries since their appearance.

The Continest containers are considered unique worldwide, as thanks to their special design, the containers can be folded; therefore, more containers can be transported at the same time, compared to the conventional containers with rigid frames. Consequently, emissions from transport, as well as logistics cost can be reduced by up to 80% with Continest containers.

The company's business strategy currently focuses on 4 areas: they serve a wide range of needs in healthcare, defence and event industry, and also the so-called "urban" purposes (for instance residential or educational projects). Services, such as electrical supply, solar and battery systems, water block units, or ballistic systems of particular importance in the defence industry are now available in the company's containers.

The factory in Székesfehérvár was equipped with state-of-the-art technology in order to facilitate the entire manufacturing process for foldable containers. This was enabled by the company's business results and the international successes of recent years, as well as the ever-growing global demand for reliable, temporary infrastructure systems, the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency reports.
