Cable Factory (Kaapelitehdas) is one of the largest cultural centres in Finland.
Situated in Helsinki’s Ruoholahti district, Cable Factory (Kaapelitehdas) was the biggest building in Finland when it was completed in 1954. Initially it was a production site for marine cables. Later on, Finland’s first supercomputer was located here. When manufacturing and data communications activities ended in the late 1980s, cultural practitioners, armed with their brushes, instruments and creative ideas, took over the Cable Factory’s abandoned corridors.
Nowadays, hundreds or creative tenants work at the Cable Factory.
