Trumpf Smart Factory was named the Merit Award winner in the Industrial category by the Chicago Building Congress. The state-of-the-art manufacturing and showroom build-to-suit was designed and constructed to be at the forefront of integrated automation, material and information flow utilizing machine tools. The facility provides visually-stunning industrial design featuring large expanses of glass with a corten steel and charred Douglas fir facade and a custom fabricated 150′ clear span truss system that eliminates the need for building columns, clearing the way for unobstructed views of the production floor.
