Question about a building near Morbach

Drive to Hahn frequently from Birkenfeld, coming up the B269 and turning right onto the B327 near Morbach. Before you make that right onto the B327 you can see an enormous building across the intersection behind some trees that we always wonder about, specifically, what is it? Has yellow panels on the outside, steel tanks behind it. Just curious if anyone knows as it's always a question. Looks big enough to be a zeppelin hangar

Looking at a satellite image courtesy of Google Earth, there are semi trailers parked out in the parking lot, and it looks like a standard factory of some sort. Sorry I can't help more, but "factory in an 'industrial park' " is as good as it's going to get.

Thanks, hadn't looked on Google Earth. The size of the cars and trucks really put the size of that place in perspective.

Thanks! Have to admit I've never really thought about where industrial packaging comes from. I would have just assumed that companies make their own packaging in house - now I know. Geeky Youtube video on the company and the subject at hand:
