BorgWarner has expanded its facility in Oroszlany, Hungary, about 50 miles (80km) from Budapest. The new 50,000sq ft (4,650sq m) building will provide added manufacturing, training, development and administrative space.

With an area now totaling over 145,000sq ft (13,500sq m), the four-building campus now employs about 600 people making turbochargers for around 50 car models in Europe, China, India and Mexico.
“Our larger facility will provide ample opportunity to expand existing product lines and introduce new technologies and products to meet growing demand in Europe,” a spokesman said.
BorgWarner expects increased demand for turbocharging as automakers work to achieve lower emissions, better fuel efficiency and improved performance.
Since the plant in Hungary first opened, the operation has increased annual production from 40,000 units in 2000 to 1.5m last year. To meet future demands, the facility’s new assembly lines can be adapted to specific customer requirements.
