The cornerstone of the automated warehouse, which is being implemented with the support of the Magyar Multi program, was laid at the Szeged site of Florin Zrt. 50 percent of the 3,000 m2 investment with a budget of about HUF 1.6 billion is provided by the Hungarian Government and the European Union within the framework of the Széchenyi Plan Plusz program. In the course of the project, robotic warehouse technology integrating cutting-edge technological solutions will be built, a barcode raw material and product tracking system will be introduced, a low-energy storage hall will be built, and a solar collector system will be built.
Regarding the foundation stone laying, company manager Attila Barta explained that the construction of the new warehouse base is the last phase of the company’s five-step site development program. In recent years, Florin modernized its production capacity with an investment of HUF 6 billion. However, the company still does not have a warehouse of finished goods. To solve this issue, you have to build your own warehouse base at the site. The goods will be moved without the touch of human hands, by self-propelled forklifts connected to company management systems. As a result of the development, the company’s costs are reduced and the company’s competitiveness improves.
The headmaster of Csongrád-Csanád county, Márton Róth, was also present at the foundation stone laying ceremony. In his greeting, he explained that since its foundation in the 1950s, Florin Zrt. has repeatedly proven that Hungarian products have the right to exist with good management. On the international market, however, in order for Hungarian businesses to take the next step in development, it is often necessary to involve European Union or state subsidies. A similar investment is essential in order for the knowledge to pay off here, for a brand to become global from a local point of view.
Florin Zrt., which produces household cleaning products, personal care products and disinfectants, successfully sells its products not only on the domestic market, but also in other European and distant countries. Thanks to recent developments, the company has realized significant growth, increased its production capacity, and modernized its equipment park. As a result of this investment, Florin’s product production technology will be modernized, it can achieve an outstanding value creation effect, in addition to stabilizing the domestic markets, it can make significant progress in the foreign market, thereby contributing to increasing the international competitiveness of the Hungarian economy.
