The plant is located in the city center and the nearest residential communities are located about 500 meter from the facility.  The project will be housed in new 2-story purpose-built facility with a footprint of 8,000 m2 and a total floor space on 42,000 m2. Construction for this new greenfield development started in 2017 and will be concluded by 2020.
