Kaapelitehdas (Finnish for "the Cable Factory", also called simply Kaapeli, Swedish: Kabelfabriken) is a famous building in Salmisaari, Helsinki, near the Lauttasaari bridge.
It was redeveloped from its industrial use into a cultural centre which hosts artists studios, three museums, activities and events.
[citation needed] The building was acquired by the city of Helsinki and converted into a cultural centre, where various private and public organisations are based and can hold events large and small, concerts, exhibitions, fairs and festivals.
It also provides space for galleries, dance theatres, ateliers, art schools, rehearsing studios, radio stations and a popular restaurant named Hima & Sali.
[citation needed] The company Kiinteistö Oy Kaapelitalo is responsible for developing, renting and maintaining the facilities.
