GE formally opened its newly expanded oil and gas facility in Fót, Hungary. The GE Oil & Gas manufacturing plant has been substantially enlarged with the addition of a new 8,000 square meter manufacturing facility and a new office building of 3,000 square meters. The new state-of-the-art manufacturing base will provide central unit control panels (UCPs) for pipelines, LNG production facilities and other oil and gas applications. The increased capacity adds more than 100 jobs, including 40 engineering positions, an employment increase of more than 80 percent.

“GE is proud to open this facility, which will enable us to meet the increasing demand for our customers locally and globally,” said Davide Marrani, global supply chain leader for Turbomachinery Solutions, GE Oil & Gas. “This opening is an important step in strengthening GE's presence in the oil and gas sector and in Hungary. Importantly, the construction was completed in less than 8 months from our July 2013 expansion announcement. The new complex provides a total 11,000 additional square meters of manufacturing and office space for our highly talented and motivated workforce.”
