Nameplate, And
What We Can Actually Take

An aluminium and fibre plant runs denser per square metre than a solid-timber factory — no timber yard, no kilns, no heavy sanding line, bought-in extrusion and knockdown packing. That is why the output figure looks high against the footprint, and we would rather explain it than have it queried in an audit.

The constraint here is rarely the machines. It is the rope bench and the sewing room, because those scale with trained people rather than with capital.
