Among other things, they purchased machinery for compacting surfaces and materials, and doubled the company's maintenance capacity with a new building.

Délút Kft., a road and public works contractor in Algyő, has modernised its construction technology with the purchase of new machinery and an investment of HUF 553 million with EU support, the company informed MTI.

The new buildings will be heated and cooled by a heat pump system

In the course of the development, the company installed new equipment for earthworks, utilities and road construction, the cost of which was covered by a conditional grant of around HUF 388 million.

Four different types of machines for compacting surfaces and materials have been purchased, which can collect data in real time on the current state of the soil or asphalt. They also purchased a machine for spreading asphalt and concrete layers, which can change the thickness of the material laid, among other things, based on digital files of the plans.

At the company's Algyő site, they have built a parts warehouse and a tyre service centre, where they carry out full tyre repairs for external customers in addition to their own vehicles. A new service building was also completed, doubling the company's maintenance capacity. The buildings are heated and cooled by a modern heat pump system.

Annual turnover increased to HUF 11.9 billion last year

The company, which has been operating in its current form since 1996, was initially engaged in sand mine cultivation, transporting and loading bulk goods, and excavation work. Over the last quarter of a century, the company has developed into the leading road and public works company in the region. In addition to road and civil engineering, Délút Kft. also carries out sewerage works, reclamation works, opencast mining, freight transport, operates an accredited quality testing laboratory and, since 2008, an asphalt mixing plant.

According to publicly available company data, the family-owned Délút Kft., which employs more than 200 people, increased its net sales revenue to HUF 11.9 billion last year, up more than 55 percent year-on-year. The company achieved a profit after tax of HUF 1.181 billion in 2021 and HUF 2.127 billion last year.
