Plastics Industry Firm Doubles Capacity

With one of the most significant investment projects in its history, Start Plast, a traditional firm in the Hungarian plastics industry, has doubled its capacity, the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency reports.

The plastic injection mold manufacturer based in Újhartyán, near Budapest, has carried out an EUR 3.53 million investment with the assistance of HIPA. Alongside the modernization of its 1,800-square-meter first production hall, the company has constructed a second hall of nearly 1,400 square meters and installed a solar power system, ensuring that approximately 20% of its annual energy needs are met from sustainable, renewable sources.

A key component of the Hungarian-owned company’s project was the acquisition and commissioning of new equipment. New machinery has been installed across the entire production cycle, from raw material handling to manufacturing and finished product logistics. As a result, the industrial park of the town in Pest County has gained yet another state-of-the-art facility.

Start Plast has already been producing at a world-class level, partnering with multinational giants such as Electrolux and Samsung Electronics. The company’s founder started in the industry in the 1970s. With nearly half a century of accumulated expertise, Start Plast is capable of manufacturing plastic products of virtually any shape and size, and also offers design services to its clients.

However, this new investment has not only doubled the company’s production capacity but also further enhanced operational efficiency and product quality, further strengthening Start Plast’s position in Hungary’s largely export-driven plastics industry.
