DENSO in Hungary

DENSO Manufacturing Hungary Ltd was founded on 15th July, 1997 in Székesfehérvár. It was the first investment of the DENSO Group in Hungary, and the 5th DENSO manufacturing plant to be incorporated in Europe.

In Hungary we employ more than 3,800 employees whose expertise is the guarantee for the excellent quality of our products.

Since the Dutch had already introduced Japanese culture into European society in the 17th century, DENSO’s first representative office was established in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 1972. One year later its regional headquarters, Nippondenso Europe (now DENSO International Europe), was established in Weesp. Since then DENSO Europe has expanded to include sales and manufacturing companies across the region.

Winning customers’ trust and being a reliable supplier, DENSO Europe expands its footprint to be close to its clients. DENSO also emphasizes human development to improve and strive for a better future.
