Coca-Cola HBC Magyarország has announced a HUF 35 billion (€100 million) investment programme at its Dunaharaszti production centre near Budapest, its largest development initiative in Hungary to date.
The expansion comes after the beverage manufacturer increased net sales by almost 10% to HUF 263.6 billion in 2025, although net profit declined by approximately 15% to HUF 9.5 billion.
Announced on October 28, the multiyear programme coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Dunaharaszti facility, which opened in 1996. It will expand production and logistics capacity, introduce new packaging technologies and support exports to the company’s existing international markets.
New production line and warehouse for 30,000 pallets
The investment includes a high-bay warehouse with capacity for 30,000 pallets and a new canned beverage production line. Coca-Cola HBC will also expand its aseptic production capacity for preservative-free beverages and introduce paper-based packaging to replace plastic shrink wrap for selected multipacks.
The project was announced during an anniversary event attended by Coca-Cola HBC Group CEO Zoran Bogdanovic, Hungarian managing director Ágnes Kovács and Economy and Energy Minister István Kapitány. Prime Minister Péter Magyar also met Bogdanovic in Budapest to discuss the investment.
Hungarian revenue grows 10%, but profit falls 15%
Financial data show that Coca-Cola HBC Magyarország generated net sales of HUF 263.6 billion in 2025, compared with HUF 239.7 billion in 2024, representing growth of approximately 10%. Net profit declined from HUF 11.2 billion to HUF 9.5 billion over the same period, a decrease of approximately 15%.
The company’s net profit margin consequently narrowed from around 4.7% to 3.6%. Coca-Cola HBC’s own sustainability disclosures show that its Hungarian operations produced 604 million litres of beverages in 2025.
At group level, Coca-Cola HBC reported that sales volumes in Hungary increased by 3% in 2025, from 100 million to 102.6 million unit cases. This volume indicator covers the Hungarian market and is distinct from the volume manufactured locally, some of which is exported. The Hungarian subsidiary employed an average of approximately 970 people in 2025.
Coca-Cola HBC Magyarország supplies 17 export markets
Coca-Cola HBC Magyarország operates two production plants, in Dunaharaszti and Zalaszentgrót, alongside eight logistics distribution centres. The company supplies approximately 50,000 retail and hospitality partners in Hungary and exports beverages to 17 international markets.
Its Hungarian supplier network comprises around 830 companies, accounting for approximately two-thirds of total supplier spending. Over the past three decades, Coca-Cola HBC has invested approximately HUF 140 billion in Hungary.
According to an economic impact assessment commissioned by the company, the wider Coca-Cola system contributed HUF 286.1 billion to Hungary’s economy through its value chain in 2024, equivalent to approximately 0.4% of GDP.
