Industrial plant move in Hungary: A case study


Overcoming the challenges of a global factory relocation

The relocation of a manufacturing facility is a complex undertaking that requires meticulous planning and execution. When a global leader in welding consumables manufacturing decided to consolidate its European operations and relocate production lines to Columbia, Sweden, and India, it sought a partner capable of handling the entire process seamlessly. Beck & Pollitzer emerged as the ideal solution provider, leveraging its global footprint and expertise in industrial plant moves.

Disassembly, packing, and global transportation: The initial phase of the project centred on the disassembly and packing of production lines at the Hungarian facility. Beck & Pollitzer’s team of experts meticulously dismantled mechanical, electrical, and piping systems, ensuring precision and efficiency. The disassembled components were carefully packed for safe transportation to their new destinations.

Our role extended beyond disassembly and packing. We coordinated the logistics of shipping 27 containers containing 450 tons of equipment across continents. This involved meticulous planning, customs clearance, and coordination with international shipping partners. Read more about project management services here.

Site clearance and equipment disposal: Once the production lines were removed, the factory required complete clearance. Beck & Pollitzer efficiently handled the dismantling and disposal of remaining equipment, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. This comprehensive approach to site clearance facilitated a smooth handover of the facility.
