Found this in Malmö, Sweden. It means Malmö Power Plant and is from late 50s och early 60s. I have big trouble identifiering the font, particular the R and the E with the lowered centers bar.

This type has the characteristics of the late 1940-50's follow up of Art Deco: Modernism. And there is a modern revival of such a font: House Industries' Neutraface. A design by Christian Schwartz heavily influenced by the work of architect Richard Neutra (whose father coincidentally owned a metal foundry, so it nicely ties in with your "industrial" look).
It even has the widely spaced umlaut – yet even larger than in your sample:
