Lissner engineers + architects – Experts in planning, implementation, and consulting in food processing
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 including sausages, burgers, and ready meals. 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.
Energy efficiency as the key to sustainability
Lissner places a strong focus on the energy efficiency of production facilities. By combining resource-saving technologies with well-designed operating concepts, energy consumption can be significantly reduced. Especially in refrigeration technology, which can account for up to 50% of electricity consumption, intelligent planning and modern solutions deliver substantial savings.
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.
International project experience
Lissner engineers + architects deliver projects for clients across Europe, Asia, and North America, adapting its planning methods to meet the specific requirements of each market. At Gulfood Manufacturing 2025, visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about successful projects and discover innovative approaches firsthand.
