Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency

Founded in 1946, SICK is a global market leader in the field of intelligent sensor manufacturing. The Group’s product portfolio is exceptionally broad, including sensors, analytical instruments, flow meters, and network devices, while the company also provides complete system solutions and develops industrial software.

As a result of its latest investment, SICK’s operational capacity in Hungary—where the company has been present since 1996—has increased by more than 50 percent, marking the most significant milestone in the company’s history in the country. Within the framework of the project, a 6,000-square-meter production hall and two automated logistics warehouse buildings with a combined floor area exceeding 4,000 square meters were constructed, supported by 27 intelligent autonomous intralogistics robots in daily operations. Sustainability was a key focus throughout the implementation of the project: a 500 kWp photovoltaic system was installed on the roofs of the three new buildings, covering 15 percent of the site’s annual electricity consumption.

The EUR 30 million development resulted in the creation of more than 300 new jobs in Kunsziget. SICK places strong emphasis on close cooperation with local educational institutions and contributes to the training of future professionals by offering dual education programs and internship opportunities.
