Eurocoin opened a second production facility in Hungary

The facility has been fully accredited by 3M Touch Systems, whose senior engineers advised on key quality issues during the construction phase, and have subsequently trained the Eurocoin engineers locally in Budapest. The new assembly line is managed by Quality Manager Balazs Kosztka under the direction of Eurocoin’s Senior Purchasing & Production Manager, Richard Langston.

“This is an exciting and highly significant step for our regional clients” explained European Sales Director Steve Smith. “We have now not only doubled our production capacity in Europe, but also moved our high quality assembly, production and QC operation to within a few hours’ drive of many of Europe’s largest manufacturers. We expect our regional clients will experience significant benefits, particularly in local stock availability and reduced delivery times.”

This expansion by Eurocoin reflects the company’s growing market share in the industrial TFT display and touch screen component sector. European manufacturers have responded positively to Eurocoin’s investment in high stock levels plus their acknowledged service and production expertise. This has allowed Eurocoin to shorten lead times for clients, plus deliver reduced production runs where requested.

“This is a carefully calculated investment” continued Smith. “TFT panel technology continues to evolve rapidly and our customers find it difficult to make long-term commitments in current market conditions. Our willingness to stock the latest display and touch screen solutions in 2 major European locations is appreciated by our clients. It’s the perfect modern supply & support partnership”
