The most recent events have shown that in addition to cutting-edge research, the industry also uses the most modern production technology. Gedeon Richter invested more than € 35 million in new production facilities, € 5 million of which in process automation. Contracts for three projects to automate steroid production at Dorog have been awarded to ABB.
