It was completed, and in the presence of State Secretary Tibor Tóth, the capacity expansion investment of Univer Product Zrt., which is 75 years old this year, worth nearly HUF 8 billion, was handed over. With the development in Kecskemét-Hetényegháza, the company will more than double its production capacity of the Hungarian seasoning to 12-15 thousand tons. In the plant created with government support, the Hungarian Strong Pista and Piros Aranya are produced at the most modern technical standards.

Founded in 1948, celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, Univer’s first food manufacturing plant, which is still wholly owned by Hungarians, began operating in 1965 at Hetényegyháza, which belongs to Kecskemét. The company submitted a tender in 2020 and started building a new factory here with state support in 2021, and the investment was completed by the beginning of 2023. The XXI. Univer Product Zrt.’s hungaricums, Erős Pista and Piros Arany, as well as many other classic Hungarian flavorings (Haragos Pista, Édes Anna, Goulash Cream, Garlic Cream, Red Onion Cream, Grated Horseradish) will be made in a factory hall featuring 19th century technology. The site’s production systems and production lines meet the requirements of Industry 4.0 from a technical, IT and environmental point of view.
