Repair and Overhaul of Engine Parts

Lufthansa Technik Miskolc is the new location for our EPAR-network.

The investment in the new EPAR location (Engine Parts & Accessories Repair) with around 400 employees will be in the three-digit million euro range. This includes not only state-of-the-art equipment for cleaning, surface treatment or heat treatment of engine parts, but also an extensive training and qualification program.

Located in Hungary's fourth largest city, we will be building the new site on an area of almost 20,000 square meters. The start of construction at the new location is planned for 2021.

Training and further education of the first employees starts as early as 2019. It will largely take place within the existing EPAR network with locations in Germany, Ireland, Malaysia, China and the USA.

Decisive for the selection of the location were the favorable location and well-developed infrastructure and the availability of highly qualified personnel.
