A massive factory fire has injured one person and destroyed the headquarters of the Singer Sewing Company in Western Sydney.

At least 100 firefighters with 20 fire engines are battling the blaze off Prospect Highway Seven Hills that tore through an industrial park.

Huge plumes of thick, black smoke filled the air after the fire broke out in a refrigerator plant about 1pm and the flames spread to several buildings.

A massive factory fire has destroyed several buildings including the headquarters of the Singer Sewing Company in Western Sydney

At least 80 firefighters with 20 fire engines are battling the blaze off Prospect Highway Seven Hills that tore through an industrial park

Huge plumes of thick, black smoke that could be seen around the city filled the air after the fire broke out about 1pm

Surrounding buildings were evacuated and one person was injured.

NSW Fire and Rescue Acting Superintendent Steve Brown urged nearby residents to close their windows to avoid the smoke.

Authorities set up a 2km exclusion zone and residents said they heard explosions as the fire took hold.

The industrial park is also home to an NRMA car servicing centre, and medical equipment and security system suppliers.

The fire caused traffic chaos in the area with Prospect Highway closed in both directions from Station Street to Lucas Street and other roads congested.

Singer, founded more than 160 years ago, is the world's most popular brand of sewing machines with more than 43 per cent of U.S. sales.
