Sneak Preview of Our First Automated Factory
Take a Virtual Tour of Plant Prefab’s First Regional Production Hub, Opening Early 2023
In January we broke ground on our first automated factory, a 270,000-square-foot regional production hub located just south of Bakersfield, CA. Check out this video for a sneak preview of the high-tech, low-impact facility!
Dubbed “the Hub,” this automated factory increases our production capacity to support large-scale developments while enabling a step change in production velocity, quality control, and sustainability. Its central location on Interstate 5 just south of Bakersfield, CA expands our service area to the entire Western United States.
A Step Change in Speed to Market
Driven by our advanced engineering and state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, production velocity at our new factory will be 15 times that of our current factories with unmatched quality control. The facility will be capable of producing 900,000 square feet of living space per year, with automated production lines specifically designed to accommodate the unique dimensions, performance standards, and finish specifications of each project.
Any Type of Housing, Anywhere in the West
Utilizing the most efficient combination of Plant Panels™ and Plant Modules™ for each project design and location, the new factory will allow us to serve single- and multi-family projects, affordable housing, student housing, and hospitality developments from Seattle to San Diego, Tahoe to Telluride, and everywhere in between.
Industry-Leading Sustainability
The factory will also enable a step change in sustainability, incorporating solar power, utility monitoring, high-performance windows, and ultra-efficient lighting, appliances, and mechanical systems—critical for achieving our goal of carbon-neutral operations. Like all Plant Prefab factories, the new facility will build client projects using healthy and sustainable materials and adhere to strict workmanship standards that ensure tight, high-performance wall assemblies for industry-leading thermal efficiency.
