On April 9, Sensirion Hungary Kft. officially opened its second production hall and new logistics center in Debrecen with a formal ceremony. The project, which represents an investment of nearly HUF 4.5 billion, was realized through a build-to-suit construction by WX Sharing Kft., a joint development of the SZINORG Group and the XANGA Group.
The 7,000 square meter expansion consists of two main units: in the first phase, a 1,600 square meter logistics center with two warehouse sections was built, followed by a 5,000 square meter, two-story production facility in the second phase. This includes three production spaces on each level, logistics and social areas, offices, meeting rooms, a 330 square meter auditorium (SensiAcademy), and a rooftop café with panoramic views.

Every aspect of the development reflects Sensirion’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility:
✅ 100% fossil-free operation
