You must build all of the unique factories in the same city. The factories are unlocked by upgrading industry areas. To unlock all factories, you must simply have at least one of each industry area all at level 5. Unlock progress does not carry over between cities, so make sure you have access to a good amount of natural resources before starting this achievement, especially oil and ore, since those run out after extracting.
Industry areas get to level 5 by having 800+ workers and 135,000 production. The current level progress can be seen on the info tab when inspecting an industry area. Create an industry area on a natural resource and build the main building matching that resource to start the industry. Ideally the industry should have highway access.
Keep building multiples of the other buildings, especially any that are used for extracting resources. There is not really a need to put much thought into laying out the industry, but extractors must go on the actual resource, processors can be in other parts of the industry area, and warehouses can be anywhere, including outside of the industry area. Just keep building as long as you can afford it and have a big enough population to support the number of workers needed, and with a bit of time, the industry will reach level 5. You only need 800 workers, but I typically ended up with about 2000 each.
I turned on the industry area policies Improved Logistics and Advanced Automation, as they seemed to speed things along.
Any map should do, but the map I used for this was Snowy Coast. There are large segments of all resources to the east of the original square.
I started building up the industry areas after reaching a population of about 30,000. You need to have some capital in order to support buying the expensive buildings, and you will most likely need to upgrade your electrical and water systems, because the industry areas consume a lot of resources. You will need a couple million dollars to buy all of the unique factories as well, so make sure your city is profitable.
This is a pretty easy achievement, just takes a bit of time for things to upgrade.

Maybe as an addition:
Some minerals like oil and ore are not required on the map to exist, because they can also be imported. If an industry required this material, it will be shuttled in with trucks.
Most of the maps have agricultural spots on them and woods can be built everywhere. So if the city you want to have all industry branches in does not have one of the missing "ingredients", just import it. Especially the net win for refined oil products is bigger than the import costs of unrefined oil.

For the longest time, I wasn’t entirely sure the game imported raw materials that you didn’t have because I had a factory sit for months waiting on materials. However, I did notice that it will say “import” on a factory for materials, so it definitely does it.
