8 Most Impressive Factories in The World
The Louisville Slugger Factory1 |
Makes of the iconic baseball bat, this factory has kept its original architecture, modernising in a subtle but extravagant way with the enormous slugger baseball bat. A nice tough to a well-respected building.
2 | The Fibreline Factory
This incredible factory is in Denmark and produces fibreglass. The low, angles architecture blends into the sparse environment – the opposite of the tall chimneys we’ve come to associate with factories.
3 | The McLaren Tech Centre
The famous high-end car makers put as much technology & precision into their factories as they do their cars. The interior is deceptively huge, including production areas, research labs, showrooms and testing rooms. This factory is in the United Kingdom.
4 | The Van Nelle Factory
This Dutch factory produces tea, coffee and tobacco. Built in 1925, it’s a perfect example of industrial modernism. Built with an impressive economy and straightforwardness, this is a building that truly is a machine in itself.
5 | NPO Energomash plant
Much of this amazing factory looks like something out of a sci-fi film. It’s used to produce rockets and is located in Poland. Although some of the factory is still in use, other parts have been dormant for years.
6 | Olisur Olive Oil Factory
This beautiful Chilean factory respectfully matches its environment. It’s made of biodegradable materials, a decision that matched the biodegradable nature of the entire olive oil process.It’s a great example of sustainable architecture.
7 | The Fagus Factory
