The Government is succeeding in reigniting industry and Hungary's goal to thrive from labour and production is viable, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Thursday.

Hungary must become a modern industrial state, and there is no modern industry without railways, the Prime Minister said at the inauguration of a new plant by railway manufacturer Stadler in Szolnok, Central Hungary.
The opening of the new plant proves that there is a future for railways in Hungary, he said, adding that new plants and factories opening throughout Hungary show that after two and a half years of fighting against indebtedness, economic growth is starting in the country.

The expansion of Stadler's plant will cost HUF 4 billion (EUR 13.6 million) and will raise the number of employees by at least 200.
Stadler has been expanding its main plant on a continual basis. Aluminium car bodies for trams as well as for standard and broad-gauge, single- and bi-level trains are welded together and polished there.
