International Factory Relocation Company
Complete relocation of factories and production lines across borders — planned as an engineering project from first survey to restarted production.
QOS Ethiopia engineering and international project support
QOS relocates complete factories and production lines between countries: survey, dismantling, industrial packaging, transport coordination, reinstallation and commissioning.
Relocation as an engineering project, not a transport job
QOS plans and executes international factory relocation: moving complete factories, production lines and individual machines between countries and continents — from survey and dismantling to reinstallation and commissioning at the new site.
A relocation is first an engineering project and only then a logistics one. The sequence QOS applies: technical survey and documentation of the existing installation, structured dismantling with match-marking, industrial packaging for sea, road or air transport, transport and customs coordination, reinstallation, and commissioning back to stable production.
Typical corridors include relocations from Europe and Türkiye into Africa, moves between European countries, and machinery transfers within multi-plant groups. QOS is directly established in Türkiye, Hungary, Morocco and Ethiopia, with project experience in Germany, Austria, Spain, Poland and Portugal.
Because downtime is the real cost of a relocation, planning centres on the production calendar: what is dismantled when, which lines move in which sequence, and how commissioning at the destination overlaps with dismantling at the origin.
Used production lines only create value when they run again. Professional reinstallation and commissioning are what turn a transported machine back into a working asset.
The relocation chain
Technical survey and relocation planning
On-site assessment of machinery condition, dismantling sequence, transport constraints and destination readiness.
Dismantling and match-marking
Structured dismantling with labelling, documentation and photo records so reinstallation is predictable.
Industrial packaging
Export-grade packaging, crating and preservation for sea, road and air transport, protecting equipment through the journey.
Transport and customs coordination
Coordination of freight, permits and customs documentation with logistics partners in origin and destination countries.
Reinstallation and alignment
Mechanical and electrical reinstallation, precision alignment and utility connection at the new site.
Commissioning and restart
Functional testing, calibration and supported restart until the line runs at stable output.
What QOS relocates
- Textile and spinning plants
- Automotive and supplier equipment
- Metal processing lines
- Food and beverage lines
- Plastics and packaging machinery
- Complete factory transfers
Why relocate with QOS
- One responsible team from dismantling to restart — no gap between moved and running.
- In-house industrial packaging protects equipment on long multi-modal journeys.
- Offices in Türkiye, Hungary, Morocco and Ethiopia cover common relocation corridors between Europe and Africa.
- Commissioning capability means the project ends at stable production, not at delivery of crates.
Frequently asked questions
Which relocation routes does QOS support?
Common corridors include Europe to Africa, Türkiye to Europe or Africa, and moves between European countries. QOS coordinates other routes across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia case by case.
How long does a factory relocation take?
Duration depends on line size, transport route and destination readiness. The dismantling-to-restart sequence is planned around the client’s production calendar; QOS provides a project-specific schedule after the technical survey.
Does QOS handle customs and transport itself?
QOS coordinates transport and customs documentation with logistics partners on both sides of the route, keeping a single engineering responsibility over the whole chain.
Can QOS relocate a line bought second-hand from another company?
Yes. QOS can survey the line at the seller’s site, dismantle, pack and ship it, and reinstall and commission it at the buyer’s site.
What happens if parts are damaged or missing at the destination?
Match-marking, documentation and packaging discipline are designed to prevent exactly this. Where refurbishment or replacement parts are needed, QOS’s fabrication and sourcing capability closes the gap.
