In Cologne a team of specialist designers and engineers from the UK have transformed a Ford plant covering the entire factory with a brightly coloured material.
Over 3000 meters worth of specially designed mesh has wrapped the factory building to celebrate the start of production of the all-new Fiesta (available in the UK from October). The design for the wrap was created in the UK by a team of designers using the only press in the country capable of producing it.
The building took a total of eight days to transform from a grey industrial block into the striking colourful masterpiece residents and workers are now greeted with. A dedicated team of six specially trained engineers worked round the clock over the course of the eight days to finish this ambitious project.
The enormous banner used to transform the building weighs in at a massive 1.5tonnes with an extra 25tonnes of water ballast required to fix it in place. The team had to endure thunder storms and sever downpours during the eight day build but are thrilled with the end result ? celebrating with a massive factory party when the last section was finished.
Not to be outdone by the engineers and designers the factory workers did their bit to fit in with the new look plant by revamping their staff uniforms from the dull grey they usually wear to bright pink trousers and hard hats!
The newly transformed factory certainly stands out from the surrounding area, so much so that local pilots have taken to pointing it out to their passengers as they fly over it!
