South Korean component supplier Hyundai Mobis has established a dedicated production base in Hungary to supply German premium automaker Mercedes-Benz for its electric and hybrid vehicles.
The new production base in Kecskemet, which is now fully operational, is located in central Hungary near the customer’s site. Covering 50,000 square meters, the plant operates under the just-in-sequence (JIS) system, enabling real-time processing of production plans for immediate manufacturing and delivery.
Hyundai Mobis has been supplying front and rear complete axle assemblies to Mercedes-Benz through its Alabama plant in the US.
The Hungarian plant features flexible production lines capable of mixed production of electric, hybrid, and internal combustion engine components, enabling it to adjust rapidly to customer production plans.
Hungary is emerging as an automotive production hub in Eastern Europe to provide local supply to European automakers. The country produces more than 500,000 new vehicles annually. German manufacturers already operate production facilities in the country and Chinese automakers and battery companies are making large-scale investments. South Korean battery companies are also increasing their presence through additional investments.
Hyundai Mobis currently operates production bases in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Turkey to supply modules and core components to group companies Hyundai Motor and Kia. The plant in Hungary will serve as a dedicated production base for global customers.
The company is also preparing to begin full-scale operations at its plant in Spain this year to supply battery systems to an unnamed international automaker, bringing its total number of European production bases in Europe to five.
