Relocation of Operations & Production

What an Industrial Relocation Really Means

Relocating a business is not merely a transportation issue. Machinery and equipment must be documented, properly dismantled, transported safely, precisely reassembled, and put back into operation at the new location. Each phase depends on the one that precedes it. If you spread the work across multiple service providers, you create interfaces—and interfaces cost time.


Since 2004, A & P Industriemontage has been assisting companies with business relocations and production transfers both domestically and abroad. With our own team of skilled workers—including assemblers, metalworkers, welders, and electricians—we handle the entire process as a one-stop service.

Disassembly & Documentation

Professional disassembly, labeling, and complete inventory. Every part is documented before it is loaded, laying the foundation for a smooth reassembly.

Electrical Engineering & Wiring

Cable installation, wiring, control panel, and PLC connection immediately after reassembly. Our electricians are part of the same team—no need to wait for a separate contractor.

Available upon request as a complete installation or a contract for work, including tools and lifting equipment. You do not need to provide anything on site.

Project Planning & Process Design

Site inspection of both locations, inventory, and project schedule. We manage the project as the general contractor, with a dedicated point of contact from start to handover.

Reassembly & Installation

Reconstruction based on documentation: precise alignment, mechanical connections, rough and fine assembly. All according to a coordinated schedule.

Retrofit & Modernization

A move is the ideal time to upgrade your equipment. While the system is disassembled, we can replace the control system, wear parts, or safety components upon request—without requiring a second shutdown.

Scope of Services for a Business Relocation

Transportation & Logistics

Loading, special transport, and, if necessary, customs clearance—both domestically and internationally. We determine the mode of transport and route early in the planning process.

Commissioning & Handover

Functional testing, DGUV-compliant safety inspection, calibration, and acceptance report. The move isn’t complete until the system is up and running at the new location.

Here's How a Business Relocation with A & P Works

The Procedure for Relocating a Business

01

Inquiry & On-Site Inspection

We analyze the origin and destination locations together with the client. In doing so, we inventory machinery and equipment, assess facility layouts, access routes, and structural conditions, and clarify all requirements for disassembly, transport, and reassembly.

02

Planning & Quote

Operational plan, schedule, staffing plan, transportation coordination. You will receive a detailed proposal with a fixed staffing and resource plan, as well as a dedicated point of contact for the entire project.

03

Disassembly & Preparation

Documented dismantling of all machinery and equipment according to a schedule, including labeling, packaging, and loading. Coordination of transportation logistics, both domestic and international.

04

Transport, Reassembly & Electrical Installation

Delivery and setup at the destination, mechanical reassembly, and simultaneous electrical installation by our own electricians. A single schedule, a single point of contact, and both trades working in sync.

05

Commissioning, Testing, and Handover

Functional testing, safety inspections in accordance with DGUV, calibration, and documentation. Handover with a complete acceptance report. Production begins once everything has been inspected.

From a single machine to an entire plant

Relocation: From the Production Line to a Complete Relocation of Operations

No two plant relocations are alike. The scope, machinery, distance, and available downtime vary from project to project. A & P carries out relocations of any scale, using the same process and adhering to the same quality standards.
Relocation of a Production Facility

Relocation of Individual Machines or Production Areas

For companies that relocate parts of their production to another location without completely interrupting ongoing operations. We plan the relocation steps so that downtime in the affected areas is kept to a minimum.

Relocation of Entire Production Lines

Complete disassembly, transport, and reassembly of entire production lines, including electrical engineering and commissioning. For domestic and international production relocations, including to countries with their own customs and security requirements.

Complete Business Relocation as a General Contractor

We take full responsibility: project planning, all trades, transportation logistics, documentation, safety inspections, and production approval. A single point of contact for everyone involved, from the initial site inspection to the final acceptance report.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Relocating a Business

Electrical installations and automation projects raise many specific questions in the early stages. We have summarized the most important answers here. We are always available to answer project-specific inquiries directly.

Project planning, disassembly, transportation, reassembly, electrical installation, and commissioning—all from a single source. We assume overall responsibility as the general contractor, including safety inspections in accordance with DGUV and complete acceptance documentation.

Yes. Our in-house electricians are part of the same team as the mechanics. Cable laying, wiring, control panel installation, and PLC integration are performed immediately after reassembly, without a separate order and without any downtime between trades.

That depends on the scope of the project. A single production line can be relocated in a few days, while a complete plant relocation can take several weeks, depending on the machinery and the destination. After the on-site inspection, you will receive a binding schedule.

Yes. We handle business relocations and production transfers worldwide, including in Europe, the U.S., Mexico, China, India, and South Africa. Our staff is willing to travel, and we coordinate international logistics and customs clearance as part of the project.

Not necessarily. When relocating individual production areas, we plan the steps so that ongoing operations are disrupted as little as possible. We work with the client during the planning phase to determine which downtimes are unavoidable.

Yes. DGUV-compliant inspections are an integral part of every business relocation project at A & P. The handover includes complete inspection documentation.

The costs depend on the scope of the project, the number of machines, the transport distance, and the service package. It would be irresponsible to make a blanket statement here. After an on-site inspection, we’ll prepare a detailed quote with a fixed staffing and resource plan so that you know exactly what to expect before the project begins.
