Hello Dirk:
The former main Rollei factory (Rollei being the
owner) was at the Chai Chee neighbourhood, on the Chai Chee Road,
within Bedok New Town in Singapore, it was where the Chai Chee
Technopark is today, however Rollei 35 and Rollei B35 production
started in a rented building at Alexandra Road 315 in Singapore.
This is a Singapore map, you can see a marked area for Chai Chee,you
can also see the Chai Chee Technopark within this area, this is the
exact site for the former Rollei main factory:

This a Chai Chee article in Wiki-Pedia where Rollei and Varta
factories are mentioned:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chai_Chee
I have seen some Chai Chee Technopark current photographs, I think the
Rollei buildings are still there, with a few modifications perhaps,
but I'm not 100% sure about it, anyway that is the Rollei historical
site.
Rollei manufactured cameras, shutters and lenses at Chai Chee; lenses
manufacture started in a rented building at Indus Road, but when
Rollei completed the main facilities at Chai Chee Road, Rollei Optical
Co moved there too.
The Alu- Guss or Rolle Alu-Druckgusswerk had a separated new building
at Singapore outskirts due to Singapore's environmental laws, in the
city's Jurong district. It was a smaller plant than the main factory
BTW.
I hope this helps
Carlos
