Motor-Classic in Tatabánya Builds New Production Hall

Tatabánya-based Motor-Classic Plc., a manufacturer of precision metal parts and restoration of veteran cars, is expanding its plant with a new production hall and a modern machining center.

According to marketing director Viktor Tamás, the company is expanding its 5,000-square-meter production area with a new 2,000-square-meter hall, which will house a five-axis machining machine and a 3D coordinate measuring machine.

The new equipment will significantly increase the capacity of the company's CNC department, which will be able to produce automotive and energy components with millimeter precision and without scrap in small and medium series.

The company has won a conditional grant of HUF 600 million for the investment from the EU-supported GINOP tender for the promotion of business research, development and innovation. The development also includes the installation of a renewable energy production system.

Motor-Classic Plc. started in 1985 as a ‘garage company’ for the restoration of vintage motorcycles, and now operates a world-class restoration base on 5.000 square meters in an industrial zone of Tatabánya, west of Budapest. The company is the only such one in Europe to have its own high-capacity galvanizing shop.

They refurbish 20-25 cars a year and their most important customers include the Mercedes Factory Museum and the Mercedes Classic Club network. The waiting list for new work is 1-2 years.

Motor-Classic Plc. has a turnover of HUF 2 billion in 2020 and HUF 3.6 billion in 2021 and employs 147 people.
