The 70-year-old HAJDU Group can celebrate not only its anniversary but also its business achievements, recording approximately HUF 22 billion in revenue in 2021, continuing the growth trend of previous years. The positive picture was somewhat overshadowed during the year by rising raw material and energy costs, as well as a shortage of skilled labor.
HAJDU Hajdúsági Ipari Zrt. had a stable business year. In 2021, the company exceeded its previous results by 27%, generating HUF 13.7 billion in revenue. In terms of exports, the Russian market contributed significantly to growth, while domestically the building engineering product manufacturer remains a market leader.
“Last year, we closed the year successfully. We were able to grow in all our markets, despite the general supply challenges affecting the industry. We can all be proud of that. Continuously delivering our products strengthened our positive reputation significantly.
This year, we continue to work on ensuring reliable supply as a trusted partner, maintaining the expected high quality, and further developing our market presence and profitability,” summarized Péter Sztányi, Commercial Director of HAJDU Zrt.
Government measures supporting families, energy efficiency investments, and record-level growth in the construction sector have all stimulated the company’s domestic sales. Demand continues to grow for innovative products such as heat pumps and other renewable energy devices.
HAJDU Autotechnika Zrt. experienced one constant last year: change. The company adapted excellently to these fluctuations while achieving significant revenue growth. “The transformation of the automotive industry, chip shortages, and temporary component scarcities affected our production, causing occasional volatility in volumes. We found solutions to maintain both short- and long-term operational stability, achieving more than 45% growth and HUF 8 billion in revenue,” emphasized Anna Dedéné Novotni, CEO of the automotive company. New customer relationships supported their goals, and overall performance improved throughout the year. They are confident in the stabilization of the automotive sector and plan HUF 9 billion in revenue for 2022.
In the coming period, the group’s focus will be the implementation of a mid-term investment package totaling over HUF 2.4 billion, spanning several years with planned completion in 2024. This complex investment will upgrade the companies’ IT systems and include significant infrastructural and technological developments. To support this, HAJDU Hajdúsági Ipari Zrt. and HAJDU Autotechnika Zrt. received a total of approximately HUF 1.2 billion in non-repayable state support under the Ministry of Finance’s Large Enterprise Investment Support Program.
