The notification concerns the second phase of an investment project, which aims to set up a plant to produce ceramic substrates for Diesel Particulate Filters in the Dunavarsány Industrial Park.

The Hungarian authorities intend to promote regional development by providing regional investment aid to IBIDEN Hungary Gyártó Kft. for the setting up of a new manufacturing plant for the production of ceramic substrates for Diesel Particulate Filters in the Dunavarsány Industrial Park, in the region of Central Hungary (Pest County), which is an assisted area in accordance with Article 87(3)(a) of the EC Treaty with an aid intensity ceiling of 40 % Net Grant Equivalent (NGE) for the period 2004-2006 (4).

– Integrating new knowledge and technologies (e. g. mathematical approaches and tools, eco-technologies), on nano -materials and production in sectoral and cross-sectoral applications such as: health, construction, ceramics, transport, energy, chemistry, minerals, environment, footwear, textiles and clothing, pulp and paper, mechanical engineering, steel .

Imetal will also submit an acceptable structural solution to the problem arising from its simultaneous presence on both the market for Molochite, a unique refractory clay, and the market for kiln furniture, whose manufacturers need Molochite.

Attention was focussed on new manufacturing techniques and new materials, and nine key technological fields were given priority: - Improved reliability of industrial materials, components and systems; - Laser technology as a production tool; - New material joining techniques; - New testing methods, often computer-based and used on production lines and in continuous processes; - 3 - - Advanced design and manufacturing techniques; - Applications of advanced materials such as polymers, composites and ceramics; - Membrane science and technology; - Catalysis and particle technology; - Automated processing and assembly of flexible mate ...[+++]rials leading to the automated manufacture of clothes and shoes.
