Lidl Hungary's fourth and largest 62,000-m2 logistics center was inaugurated in Ecser, Pest County this Friday. The company received a HUF 1.2 billion non-refundable investment promotion grant from the government for the HUF 36 billion investment, creating more than 400 new jobs in the region.
It was in the summer of 2020 that Lidl Hungary announced the start of the large-scale investment, which has now been completed and the first deliveries of goods have been made today. So far, the company supplies the country's 190 Lidl stores, and thus Hungarian households throughout Hungary, from three logistics centers in Székesfehérvár, Szigetszentmiklós and Hejőkürt. From now on, the new warehouse in Ecser will be responsible for serving more than 60 stores in Budapest and the surrounding area.
The building has a floor area of 62,000 square metres, equivalent to the size of nine football pitches - of which more than 21,000 square metres, or 3 football pitch-sized refrigerated areas, have been built. Its highest point is 21 metres high, equivalent to 7 storeys. As an indication of the new warehouse's turnover, it will handle 200,000 pallets in a month and can accommodate up to 5,000 trucks.
According to the company, the dynamic development has made the discount chain the 11th largest company in Hungary in terms of the number of employees. It provides competitive wages for more than 8,500 employees and has spent more than HUF 27 billion on wage improvements over the past four years.
