HATÉKONYSÁG ÉS VERSENYKÉPESSÉG
To achieve the medium- and long -term goals of it’s affiliate firm in Kecskemét it was necessary, to create a new, modern production base -a new addition to the existing premise- conform to the 21st century’s requirements. In addition, Knorr-Bremse decided to bring to Kecskemét it’s new research and development center, adjacent to the planned manufacturing base.
The project started in January 2013 and was implemented in record time, thank to which the New Production Base and Development Centre could start operating already in November 2013.
Solun carried out successfully the task of project management . The complexity of the task -beside the tight deadlines- came also from the fact that the project was funded from EU sources, and so the development had fully to comply with the very strict administrational and documentational requirements.
