Greek term or phrase: κάθετη μονάδα

Το 2008 μεταφέρεται σε μεγαλύτερες εγκαταστάσεις, σε χώρο 2.500m2 στο XXXX, δημιουργώντας μια υπερσύγχρονη και άρτια *κάθετη μονάδα* παραγωγής

The results from googling for this suggest it's something like a production line, but none of my best guesses turn up any convincing results. Does anybody know if there's a special term for this. (I was wondering if it had something to do with vertical integration, but that doesn't seem quite right.)
