The logistics complex operating with the most modern and innovative technologies built with a 10 billion HUF investment by Gebrüder Weiss Ltd was inaugurated on Thursday in Dunaharaszti Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Gebrüder Weiss (GW) group Wolfgang Senger-Weiss stated during the pre-inauguration press briefing that following the recession of recent years there is a resurgence of economic activity Based on the observed growth in industrial production particularly in the automotive and electronics industries one can expect demand for expansion in transportation and logistics services in the coming years Hungary serves as a hub for freight traffic Central and Eastern European Regional Manager of GW Thomas Schauer highlighted that the new logistics centre is equipped with advanced automated systems utilizing intelligent technologies for the storage and movement of goods the automated storage system provided by AutoStore which eschews traditional shelves in favour of plastic bins stored within an aluminium framework Managing Director of GW Hungary Ltd Bálint Varga disclosed that the newly inaugurated complex spans 10,000 square metres high-rise storage facilities as well as accompanying offices and 100 loading docks the company’s central logistics facility has expanded to 32,000 square metres bringing the total area of its logistics network in Hungary close to 100,000 square metres in addition to Dunaharaszti Gebrüder Weiss operates facilities in Győr The company’s next major investment will be in Győr in 2026 where it intends to establish an independent logistics facility full-service logistics company employing approximately 8,600 people and operating 180 owned facilities The company recorded a turnover of 2.47 billion euros in 2023 Its portfolio encompasses freight forwarding and logistics solutions Publicly available company data indicates that Gebrüder Weiss concluded the 2022 business year with a net revenue of 19 billion Hungarian forints and a taxed profit of 1.3 billion forints it achieved a net revenue of 20 billion forints and a taxed profit of 1.4 billion forints Hungarian Conservative is a quarterly magazine on contemporary political philosophical and cultural issues from a conservative perspective Optimizing product quality and operational sustainability are driving forces at the Coca-Cola HBC plant in Hungary industry product manager for Mouvex® and PSG® explains how its SLS Series eccentric disc pumps provided solution which has its global headquarters in Atlanta the task of ensuring these partners produce their products at the highest levels of corporate responsibility and environmental sustainability falls to the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (HBC) The company was formed in 2000 when the Hellenic Bottling Comp­any SA acquired Coca-Cola Beverages Ltd Coca-Cola HBC prides itself on the fact that its 59 production plants 289 filling lines and 292 warehouse and distribution centers operate in the most environmentally sensitive and cost-efficient way possible The largest Coca-Cola bottling plant in Hungary is in the city of Dunaharaszti located about 15 km (10 miles) south of the Hungarian capital of Budapest The man responsible for meeting Coca-Cola HBC’s meticulous standards regarding production and sustainability is Zoltán Marincsák who is the Maintenance Manager for the Coca-Cola HBC Dunaharaszti facility “Sustainability at Coca-Cola is very important,” Marincsák explained “Coca-Cola is the most famous brand in the world and we also try to reduce day by day our carbon footprint or effect on the environment.” it is imperative that unloading times are optimized and that no delays are experienced lest the strict production schedule be compromised Knowing that the fabrication of beverages has to adhere to rigorous regulations and guidelines bases and syrups must be handled in the most sanitary manner possible in order to avoid the risk of bacteriological contamination This puts tremendous pressure on the pumps that are used to unload the tankers and transfer the beverage components to their specific storage and holding tanks The unloading of these trucks was a job that the existing twin screw pumps were finding increasingly difficult to perform safely and satisfactorily at the Dunaharaszti plant “It would also take about four to six hours to empty one tank and due to the low temperature and highly viscous nature of the concentrates we were transferring the pumps would sometimes freeze,” said Marincsák “It’s important that the pumps work every time because the trucks are always coming in and all of our production is scheduled just-in-time I need to know every time that the system will operate as I require The twin screw pumps were not able to empty out the total system so from every tanker we had a lot of wasted product.” PROBC’s solution was to introduce the SLS Series eccentric disc pump from Mouvex® SLS Series pumps have been designed for use in the food all of which require extremely hygienic operations The SLS Series seal-less pumps incorporate a hermetic pump head with a self-adjustable eccentric shaft protected by a double-wall stainless-steel bellows designed to’ ensure long life and product safety the eccentric disc technology offers a range of innovative benefits including strong vacuum and compression effect for enhanced line stripping and optimized product recovery; low shear rate; self-priming and dry-run capabilities; exceptional volumetric consistency; no slip; and almost completely pulsation-free operation Due to the fact that the pump has only two wear parts main­tenance can be performed while the pump is inline “The Mouvex eccentric disc technology has a lot of benefits for Coca-Cola HBC,” said Pétervári the elimination of cavitation and vibration the improvement of unloading times to around two hours and CIP and water savings – no flushing water is necessary since the pump is seal-less But the best benefit for Coca-Cola HBC is that the SLS pump guarantees a higher rate of product recovery because the Mouvex pump can suck much more concentrate from the container and push more of it through the pipeline to the tank.” Pétervári provided an SLS test pump to Coca-Cola HBC and for Marincsák seeing was definitely believing he was so impressed he didn’t want the test pump to be taken away after he had seen it in action they were going to return the trial pump and we said We would like to keep the Mouvex!’” said Marincsák After his own SLS Series pump had been installed Marincsák has also had no reason to question his ­decision to deploy a different pump technology There used to be more than 300 kilograms (660 lb) left in the truck and pipe system with the old pump less than 100 kg (220 lb) remain in the pump and the piping system if we reduce waste by 200 kg per load and recover more than one ton A key to the Mouvex pump’s enhanced product-recovery capability is its conveying principle which is based on two stainless-steel components Through this movement the inner and outer chambers are formed which displace the liquid from the suction side to the pressure side with an impressively consistent and accurate flow the rotation of the parts creates a compressor effect that facilitates the stripping of discharge lines When the operations at the Coca-Cola HBC plant in Hungary were beginning to be compromised by the ill-performing twin screw pump technology Zoltán Marincsák knew it was time to search for a solution and he has found the answer in the SLS Series eccentric disc pump from Mouvex “The reliability of the equipment is very important because we provide high-quality products and to create them we need high-quality equipment,” he said very good

the morning of 12 January residents in southern Budapest were woken by an alarming phenomenon: the earth was moving The MTI published the following report the next day: “The earthquake felt at 6:46:12 and followed by an aftershock at 8:41 could be felt in several parts of the country but was not of national proportion The tremors caused significant damage in Budapest and Pest county while minor damage has been reported from Baranya Taksony and Dunaharaszti were the wort-afflicted 3144 of the 3500 houses in Dunaharaszti suffered damage Six houses collapsed in the 20th and 21st Districts and the overhead powerlines of the Soroksár suburban railway also broke Some buildings of the Csepel Automotive Factory were also damaged Even more interesting was another consequence of the quake The water flow from the heat sources that supply the Rudas Bath increased temporarily A map showing the extent of the earthquake (Source: Élet és Tudomány was caused by the movement of the dolomite slab that can be considered the continuation of Gellért Hill under Csepel Island The earthquake came as a surprise because the previous quake which could be felt by the public happened around Eger in 1925 Budapest had never previously been affected by a major quake only a single tremor with an epicentre within the capital has been recorded an earthquake with a magnitude of 1.5 on the Richter-scale was measured smaller tremors are a common occurrence around the city there have been a total of 6 earthquakes on the borders of Budapest but none of these has reached a magnitude of 3.  Residents of the city could also feel the 4.7 magnitude earthquake that shook Oroszlány on 29 January 2011 no injuries or significant damage was reported in Budapest Cracks appeared on a panel house in the 3rd District while plaster fell from the walls of another in Gazdagrét within the 11th District and underpass in the city was checked - all were deemed to be safe Budapest's bridges should survive such a quake even if the epicentre was in Budapest This means that rather than growing like the Celsius scale – in which the same range separates each degree from the previous and the next – on the Richter-scale a level 4 quake is about 35-times more powerful than a level 3 quake A 4.5 earthquake releases as much energy as the nuclear bomb detonated above Nagasaki 6200 quakes of this magnitude occur on the Earth each year The walls of the house collapsed in the earthquake (Photo: Mandab.hu/Katasztrófavédelem Központi Múzeuma) The power of earthquakes can be seen in reports of the Croatian tremors being felt in Budapest's taller buildings There have actually been similar tremors before one near Komárom in 1763 is estimated to have been a 6.2 or 6.3.  The tremor not only caused damage in Komárom but destroyed the church in Zsámbék Several earthquakes have been felt in Hungary over the last 65 years this is a trend that will continue in the following years and decades The fact that Hungary is relatively calm - from a tectonic point of view - gives us some hope and the potential to cause serious damage happens each decade Cover photo: Firefighters during damage control (Magyar
