factory
'die Fabrik' and 'die Maschinenfabrik' both refer to places of industrial production. 'Fabrik' is the general term and can fit many products, for example clothing, furniture, or food. 'Maschinenfabrik' is more specific: machines, machine parts, or mechanical systems are manufactured there. The words can be confused because a 'Maschinenfabrik' is also a 'Fabrik'. But not every 'Fabrik' is a 'Maschinenfabrik'. If the type of products is important and the topic is machines, 'Maschinenfabrik' is more precise.
