\u201cThe automotive and battery industries are the two key drivers of Hungary\u2019s economy,\u201d said Ryoji Koga, general manager of Marubeni Corporation Budapest Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marubeni\u2019s first decades in the country were defined by hands-on support for manufacturers. The company helped plan factory layouts, procure equipment and manage installation and maintenance. That foundation created a network across suppliers and customers that now informs a broader push into deal sourcing and project development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koga, leads the shift toward originating and structuring opportunities in Central and Eastern Europe. The goal is to match technology, capital and market access so ventures scale beyond pilots and serve regional demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marubeni\u2019s history in Hungary reaches back half a century. \u201cFrom the 1970s to the present day, the Marubeni Group has built a strong business track record in Hungary together with numerous partners,\u201d Koga said. \u201cIn particular, we have focused on supporting Japanese manufacturers’ business expansion into Europe, especially in the automotive industry and, more recently, in the electric vehicle (EV) sector.\u201d The group has also connected Hungary to Japan and global markets for chemicals, synthetic rubber and textiles through import and export, and is now exploring opportunities for collaboration with local partners in traditional food and agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are focusing on a \u2018Strategic Platform Business\u2019 model, expanding high value-added products and services in high-growth domains while simultaneously pursuing profitability and scalability.<\/p>Ryoji Koga<\/strong>, General Manager of Marubeni Corporation Budapest Office<\/mark><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n

Green efforts are embedded across initiatives to meet evolving expectations in Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
