A German avionics parts manufacturer has invested 2.76 billion HUF (9 million EUR) in Hungary which has created new jobs for Hungarians.
Diehl Aircabin has invested funds, made up partly from a 968 million HUF grant from the Hungarian government, to set up a new engineering center in Debrecen, eastern Hungary.
Péter Szijjártó, minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said the investment will help create more than 150 jobs at the new center.
