More than 19.000 visitors attended the 9th Then and Now Vehicle Expo in Esztergom, along the Nagy-Danube Sétány at the Rugby Club Hotel event venue on 25-26 April 2026. Over the course of the two-day event, the heart of the city was once again brought to life, featuring a rich programme of vintage cars and motorcycles, the latest Suzuki models, family-friendly activities, live music performances, and interactive experiences.
Magyar Suzuki Corporation has reached a significant milestone: the Esztergom-based company was established 35 years ago, when the foundation stone of the plant was laid. At the Suzuki Group’s only production facility in Europe, seven iconic models have been manufactured over the decades, while the company has become one of the country’s key economic players.
More than one hundred vintage vehicles, a police helicopter and motorboat, the last Mercedes of János Kádár, as well as the latest Suzuki models. On 25-26 April 2026, Esztergom comes alive again as the Then and Now Vehicle Expo is held for the ninth time in the heart of the city, on the Nagy Duna Sétány at the Rugby Club event area. This year's two-day event is all about vehicles once again, showcasing not only classic vintage cars and motorcycles, but also modern two- and four-wheeled vehicles.
Magyar Suzuki Corporation has received a prestigious professional award at the Companies for the Future Award 2026 gala, organised by the Joint Venture Association (JVSZ). This year, the company was honoured with the special award for BEST TALENT PROGRAMME. The award was accepted by Dr. Zoltán Varga, Executive General Manager of Magyar Suzuki.
In recognition of his work for Esztergom, his role in developing manufacturing in Hungary, and his efforts to strengthen innovation processes and international cooperation, Masato Atsumi, who is stepping down as Managing Director of Magyar Suzuki Zrt. at the end of February, has received this year’s “Pro Urbe Esztergom” award.
