Omori India Pvt. Ltd. is a leading manufacturer of high-speed flow wrap machines and automatic feeding and product handling systems for food and non-food applications.

This Factory is located in Vadodara, in Gujarat, approximately 400km north of Mumbai, in Western India. The assembling and testing facilities are located at Rania, Vadodara.

An extension of existing factory is carried out in which PMA provided Architecture, Structure, MEPF Detail engineering and consultancyservices.

Building use: Assembly factory for Packaging machine and Design office.

This project, just outside Ahmedabad, is the Ford Motor Company’s second production facility in India. The flat, 460-acre site contains 420,000m2 of vehicle and engine assembly plants, along with a test track. The shops in each plant are laid out along a central axis, connecting an administration block, cafeteria, and courtyard. Offering a sense of depth, the plan enables workers to approach each shop via the shortest possible route. With outside temperatures exceeding 40° Celsius, the administration blocks include façades that provide heat-mitigating shade. After passing the administration blocks, employees see partly assembled automobile bodies moving along elevated conveyors.

The original square and circle motif idea for the plan layout is providing flexible and adjustable to the complexity of the project’s functional intentions.

One of the principle parameters spinning the circle on its axis permitted covering the South West side of the site with a molded design facade giving a good aspect to the main entries into the building and locating the future bulky second phase to the North with good access, avoiding noise, dust and nuisance affecting the ongoing operation of Phase-1. There is a very considerable advantage here, and the resulting plan presented is very conclusive in this configuration.

Another important parameter is the 9 square grid running North-South. Each square being 30 m x 30 m with a theoretical separation of 3 m for a corridor, covered or open air.
