facility

German translation: s.u.

Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering
English term or phrase: facility
This is from an offer. XXX offers delivery and installation of a very large installation. In a subsection about some specific components it reads:

"These elements are produced in the facility in the machine shop."

I'm not sure what they refer to with "facility" here: Do they say that they'll produce the parts in the client's facility?

Any help appreciated!

Explanation:
Wenn facility schon vorher als Betriebsgeländ/Räumlichkeiten des Abnehmers definiert wurde, dann eindeutig ja.

Andererseits schreibt man in der Regel nicht in den Vertrag, dass man Teile im eigenen Haus fertigt (noch dazu offensichtlich Werkstatt-Teile) wenn dafür kein besonders begründetes Interesse besteht.

Also, wie oben!
