Tolnatext Bt. has launched a long-term development programme worth more than two billion forint, serving the expansion and modernisation of the production of glass fibre technical textiles used in construction.
In addition to its historic site, the company also has a second site, on an area formerly used by Tesco, where a 3,500-square-metre warehouse and production hall is being built. At the first site, the purchase of modern, high-performance technological equipment is planned.
Beyond the expansion of capacity, the development will also launch the production of new products: alongside glass fibre fabrics, technical textiles made from special fibres have been gaining increasing importance in recent years. Thanks to the modern machines, the recruitment of around 10–12 new colleagues will be sufficient for the expansion, as the new equipment is considerably more productive than the previous machines.
