On Friday, Britain’s biggest carmaker, Jaguar Land Rover stated, it plans on opening a new technical engineering office in Hungary. The move is aimed at allowing close collaboration with its suppliers across central and Eastern Europe.
Its new technical engineering office in Hungary will create 100 jobs.

“The team in Budapest will complement the suppliers and supplier technical assistance that we already partner with in the region, as well as our teams in the UK,” said Nick Rogers, JLR’s Executive Director of Product Engineering.
JLR’s statement has found warm welcome by Hungary’s foreign minister Peter Szijjarto.
“The decision of the UK’s largest automotive manufacturer to open a technical engineering office in Budapest reaffirms our foreign direct investment strategy and in particular our specific focus on high quality automotive-related growth,” said Szijjarto.
