USA, August, 2001: A clever system of miniature processing plants set up in 40-foot containers may be a boon for developing countries. The mini-plant system is designed in such a way that all the production machinery is fixed on the platform of the container, with all wiring, piping, and installation parts, all ready for production. There are more than 700 portable production systems, according to this brief report from Financial News, including bakeries, metal products, tires and plastics.
