07/09/2006 - GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a major player in vaccine manufacturing, is set to inaugurate a €100m vaccine production plant on Friday in a Hungarian city 30Km northeast of Budapest.
According to a GSK spokesman, the new site in Godollo will be one of Europe's most advanced biotechnology plants and will manufacture two types of vaccines, though more details were not disclosed.
The company employs around 360 people in Hungary and had turnover of €106.8m in 2005.
