Mo-Thor

The temporary joint venture STRABAG–Cordeel (50/50) was awarded the turnkey contract for Phase 1 of the Mo-Thor project, better known as the FacThory building.

Phase 1 of FacThory comprises a multifunctional building covering 8,000 m², with 3,500 m² of production space, 1,000 m² of laboratory and testing facilities and 3,500 m² of office space. The overall project was delivered in four phases and covers a total area of 30,000 m².

FacThory provides manufacturing companies with space to work on the development of new products and processes. The building is located at Thor Park Genk, the redeveloped former Waterschei mining site, which accommodates activities including technological research, talent development and industrial operations.

FacThory is also described as the ‘factory of the future’ and brings manufacturing companies together with other businesses working in areas including smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 applications.
