With flexible solutions and agile thinking, IPA - Architecture and more transformed the project for the Neoperl Factory - part of the German-Swiss Neoperl Group - into a strong and fertile foundation for the operation and development of the company’s production base for flexible hose connections and sanitary components.
The investment in Dobrich is among the largest in the region, and the new factory is the biggest and most promising facility within the group’s international network.
The project develops a large single-storey complex with a total area of over 11,000 square meters, comprising both production-warehouse and administrative zones. The building’s capacity and layout are guided by principles of safety, efficiency, and optimal working conditions for employees operating under a three-shift production cycle.
Adjacent to the main production hall are areas designated for a workshop, a quality control laboratory, and departments for finished goods inspection.
The production hall follows a precisely structured technological scheme, allowing multiple configurations for equipment layout and utility installations, all tailored to the factory’s specific manufacturing processes.
Along one side of the hall, loading and unloading ramps serve the logistics flow of incoming materials and outgoing finished products.
The single-storey administrative wing extends along two sides of the taller production volume, giving the factory a distinctive architectural silhouette.
The offices are connected to the production area through secure access doors, ensuring both operational efficiency and controlled separation between zones. The building’s structural integrity is achieved through a combination of steel and reinforced concrete columns and elements.
The facade system and wind bracing are designed in steel, while vertically mounted insulated sandwich panels form the building envelope.
The interplay of colors creates a fresh and balanced aesthetic - the grey tones of the production hall flow along the roof edge of the white administrative section, while black accents from the doors and window frames continue onto the projected entrance frames, unifying the overall appearance.
Neoperl’s expansion into Bulgaria was made on solid ground, supported by a project from IPA - Architecture and more, where functionality and aesthetics meet in perfect harmony.
