Factory planning

Only those who know what is important tomorrow can develop ideas for it.

Location and layout planning

Site and layout planning is a central part of factory planning that lays the foundation for efficient, flexible and sustainable production. A careful analysis of the geographical, economic and infrastructural conditions helps to determine the optimal location. Layout planning ensures an intelligent arrangement of the production areas in order to optimize processes and guarantee flexibility for future adjustments.
