Sensirion, a global leader in digital microsensors and systems, announced earlier this year that, in light of the dynamic growth of Sensirion Hungary Ltd., it would expand its Debrecen site by an additional 7,000 m². Accordingly, the construction of the new high-tech logistics center began in February using the same successful build-to-suit model as for the company’s first factory. As before, this real estate development—valued at approximately HUF 4.5 billion—was implemented through the investment of WX Sharing Ltd., jointly owned by the Szinorg and Xanga corporate groups. The first phase of the investment, the new high-tech logistics center, was completed in record time by October 2024.
At the opening ceremony, Dr. László Ábrahám, Managing Director of Sensirion Hungary Ltd., expressed gratitude to the Swiss parent company for supporting the development and expansion of the Debrecen site. He added that this new logistics center, along with a second future production hall, will represent a significant shift for both Sensirion and the city of Debrecen. He emphasized that in order to maintain their achievements locally, Sensirion is strongly committed to supporting technical education, talent development, and collaboration with vocational and higher education institutions, as well as the development of STEM activities.
Sensirion’s expansion in Debrecen will continue, with the second phase—the new production hall—expected to be completed in the first half of 2025.

Endre Csukás, Investment Director of the XANGA group, highlighted that DIPA Ltd. has been operating the industrial area where Sensirion moved in four years ago for over two decades. The Határ Út Industrial Park spans more than 150 hectares and is one of only 20 parks in Hungary to hold the prestigious title of Scientific and Technological Park. He noted that with this investment, Sensirion—producing high value-added products—further strengthens the Debrecen Regional and Innovation Scientific Technological Park’s commitment to innovation and R&D.
The investment significantly increases the production capacity of sensor modules. To support this, the Swiss headquarters is also financing the relocation of new production lines, valued at HUF 4 billion.
At the ceremony, Patrick Good, Director of Maintenance and Infrastructure at Sensirion, recalled why they chose Debrecen in 2020 when searching for a site for the company’s newest European subsidiary. He expressed his satisfaction that their vision had been fully realized and that the Debrecen plant has already entered its second phase of development. He stressed that modern technology, the use of renewable energy, sustainability, and recycling were key expectations for the new facility as well. Like the Stäfa production plant, the Debrecen site was designed and built to be completely free from fossil energy sources, using geothermal energy, heat recovery, a storage system, and solar panels. Sensirion Hungary Ltd. does not use a single cubic meter of gas throughout its annual production cycle, relying solely on heat pump systems for both heating and cooling needs. These developments underline that reducing the ecological footprint is not only an economic consideration but also a matter of principle, emphasized Patrick Good.

Sándor Szabó, Deputy General Director of Szinorg Universal Plc., stated that working with a client who knows what they want and makes decisions as part of a long-term vision makes project execution very effective. Sensirion was such a partner, he said.
György Orbulov, Head of Logistics at Sensirion Hungary Ltd., highlighted that the new logistics center will offer storage for 2,200 pallets—up from 200 previously—and the shelving area will grow from 800 m² to nearly 5,000 m². At the beginning of 2025, a forklift utilizing space technology will arrive, whose installation will be an international task. “Sensirion will have a state-of-the-art warehouse that is unmatched among companies of similar size in the region,” he pointed out.
Krisztián Magyar, Managing Director of Sensirion Hungary Ltd., emphasized that the expansion of the Debrecen plant is another major step for Sensirion and aligns with the company’s sustainable growth strategy and its goal to create more jobs. He added that the Swiss parent company’s decision to develop the Debrecen site was based on positive experiences in recent years and the growing demand for sensor and module solutions. He especially thanked the employees for consistently demonstrating the plant’s capabilities through high-quality work. He noted that several market-leading automotive companies have already audited the subsidiary, which suggests that sensor production in Debrecen is on a solid path not only in healthcare and climate protection but also in the automotive sector.
