Kókai Mátyás és Társa Kft. Expands with a New Development

2026. 04. 10.

The new investment of the Hungarian-owned Kókai Mátyás és Társa Kft. will be implemented in Ajka, enabling the company to further expand its manufacturing activities, deepen its production vertical integration, and strengthen the efficiency of its operations.

Founded in Ajka in 1995, the company has grown from a family-run “garage business” into one of the key players in its industry. The firm manufactures various rubber products and now operates a unique technological base in Hungary, supplying components to 18 countries worldwide.

Its products are used in the braking systems of commercial vehicles and railway carriages, pneumatic systems, industrial machinery, household appliances, and other public transport vehicles.

The EUR 5.11 million investment represents an important step in expanding the company’s manufacturing activities. Kókai Mátyás és Társa Kft. plans to introduce the production of stamped and machined metal components alongside its rubber parts manufacturing in the future. The development will create 60 new jobs.

The technology planned to be installed will provide highly automated, modern manufacturing conditions, enabling several production activities to be kept in-house.

The Kókai Group also places strong emphasis on environmental and economic sustainability. In 2026, the company will install a solar power system consisting of 2,500 panels with a capacity of 725 kVA, and together with its partners continues to work on ensuring that its equipment and processes leave the smallest possible carbon footprint.

Between 2014 and 2025, with the support of the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA), a total of 1,131 positive decisions were made regarding projects implemented by Hungarian-owned companies (including VNT and Factory Rescue Programme projects), representing a total investment volume of more than EUR 7.1 billion. Around 15,000 jobs will be created thanks to these priority investments, while VNT and Factory Rescue Programme projects have helped preserve nearly 155,000 jobs.
