Hungary’s manufacturing sector has been a driving force behind its economic growth, with industries such as automotive, electronics, and machinery leading the charge. However, a growing labour shortage, particularly for skilled and semi-skilled roles, threatened the country’s production capacity. In response, LabourLinkVN partnered with leading manufacturers in Hungary to supply experienced Vietnamese workers, reinforcing the effectiveness of Manpower Vietnam in addressing international labour challenges.
The Challenge
The manufacturing sector in Hungary faced multiple issues, including:
- Shortage of Skilled Labor: A limited domestic labour pool struggled to meet the demands of expanding factories.
- High Turnover Rates: Workers in semi-skilled roles frequently transitioned to other industries, causing disruptions.
- Rising Costs: Increasing competition for talent drove up wages, affecting profitability.
A major electronics manufacturing plant in Budapest sought immediate workforce support to maintain its production lines and meet international deadlines.
