A new manufacturing facility is more than just additional space – it is the foundation for efficient processes, increased capacity, and sustainable growth. Schwarzmann designs, manufactures, and installs industrial steel buildings fully tailored to your requirements.
For over 30 years, industrial and commercial companies across Europe have placed their trust in us. Our halls stand for durability, flexibility, and outstanding cost efficiency.
Features of Manufacturing Facilities
Manufacturing facilities are buildings specifically designed for industrial manufacturing processes. Thanks to their modular steel structure and insulated panels, they offer a wide range of applications, including:
- metal processing and plastics processing,
- the food and beverage industry,
- high-tech and electronics manufacturing,
- the construction industry and building materials production.

What should you consider when buying a manufacturing facility?
Purchasing a manufacturing facility requires careful consideration of several key factors. Our recommendation is to pay particular attention to:
- Fire safety – selecting the appropriate fire resistance class according to the production process.
- Thermal and acoustic insulation – ensuring lower operating costs and a comfortable working environment.
- Ventilation and cooling – maintaining stable temperatures, even during the summer months.
- Machinery integration – planning for overhead cranes, conveyor systems and specialized equipment.
- Flexibility – forward-thinking dimensions that allow for future expansion.
Our consultants will help you determine the optimal hall size and equipment, considering both your current requirements and your company’s future development plans.
From Planning to Installation
A new manufacturing facility by Schwarzmann is realized through clearly structured stages:
- Needs analysis – together we define the basic dimensions, intended use, and any specific requirements.
- Planning and structural engineering – development of tailored solutions that are professionally verified and properly documented.
- Production – manufacturing of the steel structure in our own production facilities.
- Installation – assembly of the hall carried out by experienced Schwarzmann installation teams.

Examples of Manufacturing facility Projects
Manufacturing facility for STO
One of the reference projects that demonstrates our expertise is the construction of a production, storage and logistics hall for our partner STO, a leading global manufacturer of construction materials.
Manufacturing facility with mixing tower and state of the art insulation
The production facility sets new standards in energy efficiency and sustainability, using regional raw materials, short transport routes, and a 1,000 m² photovoltaic system.
Fabric Structures for the Production of Concrete Elements for a Tunnel in the Swiss Alps
For the construction of the second tube of the Gotthard Tunnel, we built three interconnected fabric structures that enable the production of concrete elements directly on site. These robust fabric structures reliably protect work processes and materials from the extreme weather conditions in the Swiss Alps.

FAQ
- How much does a manufacturing facility cost per m²?
The cost of a manufacturing facility depends on several factors, such as size, equipment and location. Based on basic information such as length, width and height, we can provide an initial cost estimate. For a precise quotation, we also consider specific requirements such as insulation, fire protection or additional equipment.
- Which insulation is suitable for manufacturing facilities?
For manufacturing facilities, we most commonly recommend mineral wool or PU foam, as both solutions provide excellent thermal insulation. Mineral wool offers a higher level of fire protection, while PU foam provides better insulation performance with a thinner layer. Our experts will advise you on the most suitable solution for your production.
- Can a manufacturing facility be cooled?
Yes, manufacturing facilities can be equipped with modern ventilation and cooling systems. This ensures a comfortable and stable working temperature even during the summer months. Properly planned climate control improves employee efficiency and protects sensitive machinery and materials.
- Is it possible to expand the facility later?
Our manufacturing facilities are designed to allow for easy future expansion. This enables you to adapt the building to the growth of your company. It is a long-term flexible solution that provides security for future development.
- Is it possible to install a solar power plant on a manufacturing facility?
Yes, if desired, we can prepare the roof structure for the installation of a solar (photovoltaic) power plant. This allows you to operate your manufacturing facility more sustainably and significantly reduce energy costs. Many of our clients choose this solution to achieve greater energy independence and long-term savings.
