Tootmiskohta

Tootmiskohta is an Estonian noun meaning a production site or manufacturing facility. It refers to the location where production activities take place, such as a factory, plant, or workshop. The word is formed from tootmine (production) and koht (place). The base form is tootmiskoht, and tootmiskohta is a common inflected form that appears in sentences.

Usage of the term occurs in business, planning, and regulatory contexts. It is used when discussing site selection, capacity planning, and the geographic distribution of production activities. For example, Ettevõte otsib uut tootmiskohta translates to “The company is looking for a new production site.” The term emphasizes location rather than the building itself and can be contrasted with more specific facility terms like tehas (factory) or vabrik (plant).

In economic geography and regional development, tootmiskohta may refer to a location within a production network, taking into account factors such as logistics, access to raw materials, workforce availability, and infrastructure. The concept supports analyses of how manufacturing activities are distributed across a region or country and how site characteristics influence performance and supply chains.
