New High-Tech Precast Concrete Plant in Hungary

The inauguration of Ineton Ltd.’s new automated plant in Alsónémedi, just south of Budapest, marks an important chapter of the domestic reinforced concrete manufacturing market. The HUF 16 billion investment allows to produce special-purpose precast concrete which enhances construction efficiency to a large extent. As a result of the extension headcount surges to 140, the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency reports.

Ineton Ltd.’s development has been implemented in an area of 10.5 hectares where a production hall of 17,000 sq meters has been set up. The new plant hosts fully automated production lines to process reinforced steel and to make slabs as well as wood panels. The company is thus enabled to manufacture special-purpose precast concrete products that are suitable for a great variety of buildings. A range of engineering, electric and heating-cooling systems can also be integrated in the items produced.

The newly created capacities are set to cover up to 10-15% of the regional home building market, that is 1,200 to 1,500 resident units. Annual planned output amounts to 300,000 sq meters of slabs and 250,000 sq meters of wood panels.

This modular concrete building technology not only cuts costs and time, it also strikes a balance between serial and custom-made production in construction. In addition, in order to further improve production efficiency, Ineton Ltd. is working on a number of other solutions that are not yet available in Hungary.
