Layer

The company was founded by István Layer, who was partly following family traditions when he began his enterprise. The foundation of our activities was born in a small family enterprise selling water and gas fittings, founded in September of 1982 by István Layer and his father. Originally located in a 26 m2 wooden house, today – thanks to 30 years of dynamic growth – Layer Kft. comprises more than 20,000 m2 of industrial buildings, outlets, and logistics warehouses, providing for the efficient and successful operation of the company, as well as for the enterprises that have settled or are preparing to settle in the industrial park. Layer Kft. has grown to become a dominant construction company in the region.

 

OUR KEY PRINCIPLES:
