Due to positive business trends and the increasing demand for its existing and new sensors, Sensirion is expanding its production capabilities by establishing a production site in Debrecen, Hungary. The site is being built and financed by a local “build-to-suit” partner. Sensirion has signed a long-term lease agreement. This new production facility is an expansion, which means that no existing jobs in Switzerland are affected.

Sensirion selected Debrecen to handle the growing demand for sensors after a comprehensive evaluation of potential locations throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Decisive factors in selecting a location were proximity to customers in Europe, the education level of potential employees and support from local partners. The Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA) and the Debrecen Urban and Economic Development Center (EDC) have strongly supported Sensirion with a detailed site evaluation and planning, and the identification of local implementation partners.

“Debrecen’s excellent infrastructure, especially education facilities such as the University of Debrecen and the vocational training institutions, combined with an established industrial base, was the decisive factor in Sensirion choosing to establish a new production site there,” says Patrick Good, Director Maintenance & Infrastructure at Sensirion.

As the Debrecen site serves to expand production capacity, it will not affect any jobs at the existing Sensirion production sites in Switzerland, China and South Korea. The new site will be built over the next 12 months, starting with the groundbreaking event on June 30, 2020. Completion of construction and the subsequent start of production are anticipated by the third quarter of 2021.
