Sensirion opens additional production building in Debrecen
Advertisement
Sensirion, a leading global manufacturer of environmental and flow sensors, has successfully completed the expansion of its production facility in Debrecen, Hungary. The additional building comprises new production and logistics capacities on an area of around 7,000 m2. This will significantly increase the production capacity for sensor modules in order to support Sensirion's high growth ambitions. Sensirion is also strengthening its position as an attractive employer with secure jobs and good working conditions at the Debrecen site.
Module production site for high-quality applications
Sensirion opened the Debrecen site five years ago. Since then, millions of sensors and modules have been manufactured in Hungary and delivered from here to customers worldwide. Sensor modules are primarily produced for applications in the demanding markets of medical technology and the automotive industry. For the past year, leakage modules for the detection of A2L refrigerants have also been manufactured for the American market. The site in Debrecen has thus established itself as a strategically important module production site for Sensirion.
Sustainable building technology
The extension is attached to the existing building. Additional ISO 7 class cleanrooms were added to the production facility, allowing production steps to be carried out in an environment with the highest standards of cleanliness. Great importance was also attached to sustainability - similar to the production facility in Stäfa, Switzerland. The new building was integrated into the existing energy system and is based on a reversible geothermal heat pump. This is linked to a storage system together with a heat recovery system. A photovoltaic system completes the completely fossil-free overall system. With the installed solar power, Sensirion in Debrecen can generate around 25 % of its own electricity requirements. The expansion was built and financed by a local build-to-suit partner. Sensirion has signed a long-term lease agreement.
New jobs
The expansion of the production facility in Debrecen is an important strategic step for Sensirion and is in line with the company's sustainable growth strategy and the desire to create more jobs in Debrecen. The high-tech company relies on a steadily growing team of qualified and committed employees from various technical disciplines in Hungary. These include process engineering, materials science, chemistry, electrical engineering, automation and mechanical engineering.
The expansion will have no impact on jobs in Switzerland. Sensirion is also planning to expand its production capacity in Switzerland in the medium term.
"We are proud of the Debrecen site and see great potential for growth. This is mainly due to the dedicated and highly competent team," says Franziska Brem, VP Operations at Sensirion. "We stand for long-term and sustainable growth and want to further establish ourselves as an employer with secure jobs and good working conditions in Debrecen."
