Linamar and Gallicoop continue to lead the Békés County TOP100 company list

Linamar: increasing sales, decreasing profit

Linamar Hungary Zrt., headquartered in Orosháza, which manufactures road vehicle components, employs more than 2,700 people and its net sales revenue reached HUF 122.7 billion in 2023. Although turnover increased, operating profit and after-tax profit turned negative, so the company’s financial performance faced serious challenges.

Gallicoop: stable growth in the poultry industry

Gallicoop Zrt. from Szarvas, which processes poultry meat, also maintains its leading position: its sales revenue increased by more than 4 billion forints in one year, reaching 66.8 billion forints. Despite this, the company’s after-tax profit decreased from 1 billion to 875 million forints, which represents a moderate decline.

Hirschmann Car Communication on the podium

This year’s third place went to Hirschmann Car Communication Kft. from Békéscsaba, which manufactures telecommunications equipment. The company achieved sales revenue of almost 40 billion forints, and its after-tax profit was nearly 2 billion forints – this was enough to move up the rankings.
