Factory, one

 
 
 
Factory is a building or group of buildings in which products are manufactured. Factories range in size from home garages to buildings covering whole city blocks. Inside, workers and machines turn raw materials and parts into finished products. Factories make almost all the products people use except food. But numerous factories treat, prepare, or package food products.
