Billion HUF investment put into operation a modern, bottles purity, integrity and the filling level monitoring production line in the plant in Badacsonyörs Varga Winery.
The owner of Varga Pincészet, Péter Varga, informed MTI on Thursday that the automated machine line financed by EU funds is capable of filling 14,000 bottles per hour - 40 percent more than before - with 30 percent fewer employees. A big advantage of the equipment is that it can also check the proper sealing of the bottles, he added. He recalled: over the past 4 years, the company has developed around HUF 3 billion, of which more than HUF 2 billion has been added to the grape processing, fermentation and wine storage capacity at the Peldebrő estate in the Eger wine region.
Varga Pincészet Kft. was founded in 1993 and has 200 hectares of vineyards across the country, of which 125 hectares are in the Badacsony area, 20 hectares are in Balatonaliga, and 55 are in the Eger wine region. The processing plants are located in the wine regions of Badacsony and Eger. The winery's sales revenue in 2018 was close to HUF 5 billion, and the number of employees was 186. According to public company data, the company's taxable profit last year exceeded HUF 150 million, after HUF 161 million a year earlier.
