Ford Shrink-Wrap their Fiesta Factory

 

Germany

: 17 July 2008 : Ford has wrapped part of its Cologne Fiesta plant with approximately 3,000 metres of specially designed mesh to celebrate the redesigned line's start of production.

The design was created in the UK and made using the sole press in the country that is capable of producing it.

It took six workers eight days of around-the-clock work to give the industrial block its multi-colour make-over.

The banner weighs in at a massive 1.5 tonnes and needs 25 tonnes of water ballast to hold it in place. It was tested by thunderstorms and heavy rain as it was put up.

Ford claims that pilots approaching the German city now point the factory out to their passengers.
