The food industry in the Middle East is expanding rapidly, creating strong demand for specialised planning expertise. For more than a decade, Lissner engineers + architects have been active in the region, building on more than 30 years of experience in Germany. In markets such as Saudi Arabia, there is increasing demand for efficient, hygienic, and high-quality production facilities, not only for halal-certified meat products (poultry, lamb, beef), but also for processed foods. At the same time, plant-based alternatives are gaining significant importance.

Initially, specialised planning knowledge was not widely available in the region. However, more and more companies are now recognising its value: professional planning at an early stage helps to prevent costly mistakes, such as selecting unsuitable materials for wet areas or designing inadequate drainage systems – issues that can disrupt production flow and compromise product quality.

Holistic planning with a strong network

Lissner engineers + architects deliver holistic planning solutions from a single source: production layout, technical building equipment (TBE), approval procedures, tendering, construction and on-site project supervision. Backed by a strong network of experts, customers benefit from comprehensive expertise in every phase of the project, including the early integration of innovative hygiene solutions that increase food safety, reduce operating costs and promote sustainable processes.

Digital factory inspections

A key element of modern planning is the digital factory walkthrough. Using virtual models, clients can experience production processes already in the planning phase and refine them together with Lissner. This approach makes it possible to identify challenges early on, reduce costs, and unlock potential additional savings.
