The Cable Factory is the largest cultural centre in Finland. It houses 3 museums, 13 galleries, dance theatres, art schools and a host of artists, bands and companies. Many unique spaces are also available for rent on a short-term basis to stage concerts, exhibitions, festivals and fairs. Around 900 people work at Kaapeli on a daily basis, and each year over 200,000 people attend special events. The Cable Factory covers a total area of over 53,000 square metres, of which 35,000 square metres are rented out to over 250 tenants on a long-term basis. The five largest spaces are rented out on daily basis for special events. Foyers, corridors and staircases alone cover an area of over 7500 square metres. When completed in 1954, the Cable Factory was the largest building in Finland. The Cable Factory occupies the premises of an old factory which initially produced telephone and electrical cables. The building converted in 1991 into a fully independent cultural centre aimed at providing an area of artistic diversity with cross-cultural linkages. The Cable Factory offers permanent and short-term space for different fields and forms of art and education. The Cable Factory is a member of TransEuropeHalles, a European network of 49 independent culture centres in 25 countries. The company Kiinteistö Oy Kaapelitalo is responsible for renting, maintaining and developing the facilities. Kiinteistö Oy Kaapelitalo is owned by the City of Helsinki. From the beginning of 2008 the company has also administered the historic power plant area in Suvilahti, which will develop over the coming years into its own unique cultural centre.
