Fábrica Phillips, Industrial building in Saavedra, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Fábrica Phillips is an industrial building from the mid-20th century located at the intersection of Vedia and Tronador streets, featuring functional modernist architecture. The structure combines manufacturing floors with administrative offices in a single complex.
The factory was built in 1944 and marked the expansion of Dutch technology into Latin America. This establishment reflects how international industrial companies modernized the region during the postwar period.
The factory reflects how international companies shaped the industrial growth of Buenos Aires and the Saavedra neighborhood. You can see in its design how manufacturing and employment became part of the daily life of the area.
The building is accessible from the main surrounding roads and sits near established commercial areas. The proximity to shopping centers and office developments makes it easy to navigate the neighborhood.
The facility has maintained its dual role as both production center and corporate headquarters since the 1940s, a rarity among industrial complexes of that era. This continuity reveals how the site has remained functionally unchanged despite decades of urban transformation around it.
