Industrial relocation · Erzhausen, Germany

Complete factory relocation. From production lines to heavy press systems.

At Canopus, the drawing and the hall have to agree.

We manage the complete relocation of factories, production lines, and heavy press lines for manufacturers. Before dismantling begins, we use advanced 3D laser scanning to capture the existing facility, equipment layouts, structural conditions, and installation points with high precision. Every machine, component, connection, and interface is then systematically identified, registered, and documented to preserve the integrity of the entire production system.

Our teams coordinate dismantling, technical packing, transport, installation, alignment, and reassembly at the new facility. From the initial 3D survey to final handover, every stage is managed as one integrated project — ensuring complex industrial systems are relocated safely, accurately, and efficiently.

Tonnes relocated

Engineered before anything moves.

Every machine, component, connection, and installation point is 3D-scanned, registered, labelled, and documented before dismantling begins. At the new facility, this data becomes the blueprint for a precise, controlled reassembly — reducing uncertainty and preserving the integrity of the complete production system.

Every asset accounted for

Before dismantling begins, every machine, component, connection, and interface is identified, labelled, photographed, and entered into a structured asset register. This ensures complete traceability from its original position to final reinstallation.

15+ countries

Industrial relocation without borders.

We relocate complete factories, production lines, and heavy press systems across Germany, throughout Europe, and worldwide — managing every stage as one coordinated project.

What we do

Moving industry forward.

Canopus Innovation relocates complete factories, production lines, press systems and individual machinery. Using 3D scanning and detailed documentation, we manage every stage from planning and dismantling to transport, reinstallation and recommissioning. We also source machinery and complete production lines for customers expanding or establishing new production capacity.
