Bosch annonce la fermeture d’une de ses unités de production en Hongrie

The German engineering giant Bosch has confirmed that it is to close down a unit in central Hungary where it manufactures car stereos. Peter Dallos, the financial director of the Bosch-owned Digital Disc Drives plant in the Hungarian town of Kecskemet, told the local news agency MTI that orders were down by over half in the past few months as the crisis in the automotive industry deepened.

The factory currently employs about 500 workers. Dallos said that the Hungarian plant, which uses manual labour to assemble CD players for use in cars, can no longer compete with suppliers in Asia. The closure of the Bosch subsidiary is the latest in a recent string of job losses in the automotive sector in Hungary. The news came after Syncreon, which provides logistics services exclusively for the German carmaker Audi’s plant in north west Hungary, confirmed that it was laying off 400 of its staff of 1,400.
