Brief Description of the Project Content

The project includes the following activities:

a) Procurement of new equipment, machines, and the establishment of new technological systems and capacities:
Smart production line including automated stencil printer, SMT placement machine, SMT soldering oven, THT soldering equipment, optical inspection device, conveyor belt units, drying cabinet, ultrasonic cleaner, specialized workbenches for electronic manufacturing, repair/rework station for manual intervention, automatic screwdrivers for assembly, specialized thermal chamber, electronic testing devices, 3D printers (FDM and SLA technology), and a 3D scanner.

b) IT development:
Upgrades to server and storage infrastructure, PCB design software (CAD), and mechanical design software (CAD).

c) Procurement of manufacturing licenses and know-how for technological development:
Production of electronic components for air filters and disinfection luminaires developed for the healthcare and medical industries.

d) Infrastructure and real estate investment:
Conversion and operational setup of a semi-finished building at 7630 Pécs, Hegedűs János u. 10., Plot Number: 41281/25.

In addition to maintaining its market-leading position in the transport informatics sector, HC Linear Ltd. is entering the domestic healthcare industry by introducing new technologies (SMT and THT electronic assembly, optical quality control, 3D scanning, and printing) and offering new high-quality electronic manufacturing services.

The supported activities contribute to preserving existing jobs, maintaining base employment levels, increasing the number of domestic production sites, and expanding production capacity. As a result, the company will strengthen and broaden its presence in Hungary while creating opportunities for international expansion.

The project enables HC Linear Ltd. to manufacture high-value-added electronic components for air filtration and disinfection luminaires tailored to the healthcare and medical industries.

The technical handover of the new building included in the “GINOP-1.2.15-21-2021-00054” project has been completed. All machines have been delivered, training sessions have been successfully concluded, and the production of electronics for air purification luminaires has commenced.

Together with our colleagues, we toured the new building and closed the project in a good atmosphere.

IT Solutions since 1990 and into the Future – HC Linear

On November 30, 2022, HC Linear Ltd. successfully completed its development project aimed at manufacturing healthcare products. As part of the GINOP-1.2.15-21-2021-00054 project, the transformation and renovation of our new facility were completed, and the necessary equipment, software, and licenses for production were procured.

In spring 2021, our company submitted a funding application under the Széchenyi 2020 program, GINOP-1.2.15-21-2021 “Support for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Developing Healthcare Products.”

Our application was approved, and in autumn 2021, we began implementing the project titled “Development of Healthcare Product Manufacturing by HC Linear Ltd.” (Project ID: GINOP-1.2.15-21-2021-00054).

With the help of HUF 452.30 million in EU funding, we successfully completed the construction of our new facility at 7630 Pécs, Hegedűs János u. 10, and established a state-of-the-art production and office space. The funding allowed us to procure the necessary equipment, software, and manufacturing licenses for our new healthcare product.

As a result of this development, our company has established a research, development, and production base that not only supports healthcare product manufacturing but also serves other industries effectively and to the highest technical standards in the design, production, and user support of low-voltage systems.
