Zinkfabriek, Industrial complex in Budel, Netherlands
The zinc factory spans across a large industrial area, featuring multiple production halls, processing facilities, and specialized equipment for metal extraction operations.
The establishment of the zinc factory in 1892 transformed the rural landscape of Budel into an industrial center, marking the first zinc production facility in the Netherlands.
The factory created a complete company town called Dorplein, with streets and houses built in Walloon architectural style to accommodate the workforce.
The facility maintains strict environmental monitoring systems and regularly conducts soil quality assessments to ensure compliance with current industrial regulations.
This industrial site processes zinc ore through electrolytic production methods, replacing the original thermal techniques used until 1973 to increase manufacturing efficiency.
