Audio electronics specialist Harman International is set to start a series of investments in Hungary, according to a report by the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA).
The global leader in premium automotive audio and infotainment systems is launching three projects with the support of HIPA. With a total value of EUR 131.18 million, the investment is expected to create 25 new high value-added jobs in research and development.
As part of the expansion, Harman’s Budapest R&D center will focus on software and hardware development supporting autonomous vehicle functions. In Székesfehérvár, southwest of Budapest, the company will carry out experimental development related to autonomous systems and information management solutions for new Mercedes-Benz models.
A third project will enhance production capacities in Székesfehérvár and Pécs (S Hungary) through digitalization and automation technologies, alongside the installation of solar parks at both sites.
According to a statement by the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Hungarian state pays for over 13% of the investment costs.
Harman International brings together globally recognized audio brands such as JBL, Denon, AKG and Marantz, and has been a subsidiary of Samsung since 2017. The company has been present in Hungary for more than 30 years. It employs around 30,000 people worldwide, including more than 4,000 in Hungary.
