History of Magyar Cukor Zrt
1995 |
Magyar Cukor Zrt is established by five Hungarian sugar factories. |
1996 |
AGRANA obtains majority in the company - the factory starts to develop strongly and intensely. Since then AGRANA has been submitting constantly the required know-how and investments. |
2007 |
In November, a biogas producing plant is settled in the Kaposvár Sugar Plant which is unique in all over Europe. This equipment evolved by the engineers of the company utilizes those beet slices and refuses that come during sugar production as spin-off. The biogas plant brings 45-50% of the energy need of the factory in the processing time in a environmentally friendly way. |
2012 |
The plant is expanded with a post fermenter and another big fermenter which are built along with a 50% support of the Hungarian State and the EU. As a result, the Kaposvár Plant produces more than half of the whole country's biogas production. |
2013 |
The expansion of sugar production requires the building of a 60,000 to hemisphere silo in November. This is built with a unique technology in Hungary, as the 4th hemisphere silo in Europe, made of 3 billion HUF. Including this, Agrana invested 10 billion HUF in Kaposvár in the last four years, and is establishing a new packaging factory, a sieve station and a storage for finished goods for 5 billion HUF. |

Austria Juice Magyarország Kft.
The plant of Austria Juice Magyarország Kft. in Vasarosnameny started its activity in 1994 under the name Wink Kft. Due to continuous developments it became the leading processing plant of the area. In 2005 the ownership was moved to AGRANA group. By the merging with the other two AGRANA owned companies of the country in August 2006, the present structure of the company was formed. During this the yearly processing capacity reached 1500 tons of daily raw material processing capacity. By this the company became the leading apple processing plant of the country.
An important task of the plant is to control the operation of the three Hungarian fruit processing plants. The unified professional control of our colleagues creates an enormous potential serving the ever increasing demands of the market.
The plant in Anarcs was bought by Wink group in 1999, and a dynamic development was started. Main points of development were the improvement of quality and enhancement of the processing capacity. Daily processing capacity is 1000 tons. This great capacity enables a high quality, flexible and efficient production, where the focus is on the demand of the customer. The professional control of the plant is organised from main plant in Vasarosnameny.
The plant in Hajdusamson joined the Steirerobst group in 2002 by merging with three companies under the name Hungariaobst Ltd. The Steirerobst group became a real AGRANA plant when joining AGRANA. During a production rationalisation in 2005 a capacity extension was performed; with this the daily capacity of the plant was increased to 850-900 tons. The reorganisation of the management was done in 2006 when the merging with the other two plants was completed. The newly added know-how gave new impulse to the plant, which in terms resulted in better efficiency and cost optimization. The experience in elderberry and other red fruits processing is a big strength of the plant.
