This little factory reminds me of a plant in East Germany, very hush hush, where the Stasi intercepted all mail and packages to West Germany (and all the mail that was not carried by air from West Berlin) and routinely inspected them. Copied letters, removed stuff etc.
The plant was in a village near Berlin and all road signs to this village had been removed. My family had a summer home not two kilometres away from this plant and we only learned about it when East Germany fell apart. The place is called Freienbrink. Here is an article about it: http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-13507390.html (in German I am afraid).
