ZF Hungária KFT.

Thanks to its continuous development, ZF is one of the world's largest automotive companies, with several product lines at the top of the global sales list. Eger plant of Csepel Autógyár was bought by ZF in 1995. ZF Hungária Kft. started operations on 1 January 1996.

Our company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of manual, automated and automatic transmissions and their components in Eger, Hungary. Our customers install them in trucks, buses, small commercial vehicles and passenger cars.
In addition to product production, we also operate service centers for our parent company. Our employees also participate in global development, production, sales and business development projects. Our IT application development center operates in Eger and Budapest, where we provide high-quality and efficient services in a wide range of technological areas. Similar to our application development office, several departments of our Material Management department are connected to the Corporate Material Management area with "shared service" tasks. Hungarian employees of the Engineering Center and ZF Serviz also participate in international projects. In order to find the best suppliers, we organize domestic and international partner meetings and participate in all major professional forums.

Like the whole Group, ZF Hungária is looking for a solution for further development. In order to meet the growing quality and quantity demands of our customers, we are constantly expanding our technologies, our machine park and with it our technical level.

In the commercial vehicle production area, components are manufactured in an island system with modern semi-automatic machining centres. We mainly use high-performance equipment from Liebherr, Samputensili, Junker, Kapp, Pfauter and EMAG. The hardening of components is carried out in our high capacity heat treatment shop in Aichelin automatic furnaces. The various types of gearboxes are assembled on our own designed assembly lines. We use a card identification system to ensure that each assembly process is carried out only by trained personnel on our assembly lines, which are equipped with a test bench. We sell our world-class products to key international manufacturers and brands in the automotive industry. The components are stocked and productive areas are serviced from our robotised logistics centre.

In October 2018, assembly of ZF 8HP automatic transmissions started at the modern production base in the passenger car production area. In 2019, another modern, complex assembly line was put into operation, which will provide ZF Hungária with further significant capacity expansion and turnover growth. This cutting-edge technology product, which is in high demand on the global market, will be installed in premium vehicles.
After the launch, we are already producing the ZF 8HP version suitable for four-wheel drive for another large customer. On 1 December 2023, the one millionth 8HP automatic transmission was completed in Eger.

Our CSR Activities

Since its establishment in 1996, ZF Hungária Kft. has considered it important to continuously strengthen its role in social responsibility in Eger and Heves County. Our primary goal is to support the activities of institutions, organizations, social groups and associations that directly and indirectly contribute to improving the living conditions of the local population and strengthening their competitiveness.

ZF Hungária Ltd.'s CSR activities seek focal points where it can finance - partly or fully, local community events or the purchase of equipments and facilities that improve community conditions. When allocating our annual support and sponsorship budget, it is important to ensure that all members in society - from young people to the elderly-, and organisations that bring together the healthy and the disabled, also benefit. Therefore, we support not only interesting academic competitions or student days, but we also play an important role in the development of equipment park for health institutions. It is important to recognise young people's organisations where they are doing something for themselves or for the community, because it is important for our company to select our future colleagues from among young people who want to actively develop when planning their future.

In the spring, ZF Hungária Kft. received the title "Reliable Employer" from the German-Hungarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce (DUIHK). This award is given to companies that take care of their employees' work and living conditions in an exemplary and reliable manner. Awarded companies are entitled to use the title for 3 years, so ZF Hungária Kft. can use it between 2024-2026.
