fabriekmatig

Fabriekmatig is a Dutch adjective that translates to "factory-made" or "industrial" in English. It describes something that is produced in a factory setting through industrial processes, as opposed to being handmade or crafted individually. The term often implies mass production, standardization, and the use of machinery and specialized equipment.

Objects or goods described as fabriekmatig are typically characterized by their uniformity and consistency in design, materials, and quality, which are achieved through controlled manufacturing environments. This contrasts with artisanal or handmade items, which often exhibit unique variations and may be produced in smaller quantities.

The concept of fabriekmatig production is central to industrial manufacturing and has been a driving force behind the availability of affordable and diverse goods in modern society. It is used in various contexts, from describing furniture and clothing to food products and building materials. The term can sometimes carry a connotation of being less personal or unique compared to handcrafted alternatives, but it also signifies efficiency, scalability, and often, lower cost.
