One of them is General Motor's Opel, thus the Esztergom assembly plant, near Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is becoming a multi-brand centre. Manufacturing of the models is to start in the autumn, 2007; their sale is expected to begin in spring 2008. As of last year as many as 5500 employees were employed at Magyar Suzuki but the workforce is expected to grow to 6000 in the near future. The number of cars produced is to increase as well: from 220,000 produced last year to 300,000 in 2008.
