About The Van Nelle Factory
The Van Nelle Factory is an admirable construction of concrete, steel and glass. Devised for entrepreneurship, designed to innovate. Event location and office complex. But primarily: inspiring meeting place. For creative spirits, entrepreneurial types, congress and fair visitors, party-goers and architecture lovers from all over the world. Feel the buzz of activity: the Van Nelle Factory is bustling, just like the city.
The Van Nelle Factory was once the most modern factory in the Netherlands. The first daylight factory in Europe. Designed to generate energy. A model of functionalism. Not brick, but concrete. No supporting walls, but columns. A facade of steel and glass. A sea of daylight on the work-floor. The building was designed to give energy. It was renovated in 2002 and is therefore sustainable down to the details. The listed building in Rotterdam has been registered as UNESCO World Heritage since 2014.
The time for coffee, tea and tobacco has passed. But the Van Nelle Factory, now as a place to work and organise events, is still characterised by activity and modernity.
