The Plant Cph can host company events, launches, brand activations and large gatherings for up to 1,600 guests. It is a former factory at Raffinaderivej 22 in Copenhagen S, converted into an event venue with a main hall of 1,000 m² and further rooms spread over three levels. Organizers can hire the space on its own or work with the venue's project managers from the first idea to the day itself.
Seminars and company events
The venue presents itself as a blank canvas. Rooms can be divided, colors changed and the whole space branded to match a client, which suits product launches, brand activations, large conferences, staff parties and trade-style events. Floor-to-ceiling curtains and electronic gates make it possible to create a room within the room, so a general assembly, a break area and a dinner can share the building without feeling like one open hall. High ceilings and natural daylight work for presentations as well as for staged shows.
Two ways of working are offered. An organizer can rent the premises and handle everything alone, with their own agency or production team. Alternatively, an experienced project manager at the venue guides and coordinates the process from idea to execution. The site also has a Services section and a page of case studies showing past events, which are worth reading before a site visit.
Rooms and capacities
The main venue has a floor area of 1,000 m² and measures 45.5 meters in depth by 17.3 meters in width. The building as a whole is approved for up to 1,600 guests. Whatever the layout, a fire plan approved by the Copenhagen Fire Service must exist whenever equipment is set up, so a stage, a catering station or a trade booth needs to be drawn and cleared first. The venue describes large and small rooms across three levels with high ceilings and natural light, and the site has a floor plan page. The pages read do not give seated capacities per layout, so a theatre or banquet count should be confirmed with the venue.
There are five men's and five women's toilets and one accessible toilet.
Parking and access
The venue has parking for 170 cars, accessed from Raffinaderivej. The spaces are managed by a parking operator, OnePark, on ordinary days, but for events it is possible to buy day tickets. That is useful for a conference where participants arrive by car, and for suppliers who need to unload.
History and setting
The building was constructed by A.P. Møller Mærsk in 1962 for the production of Danish raw materials, and was later used for sorting plastic waste. It belonged to the wider industrial district around Refshaleøen and Holmen. Raffinaderivej takes its name from the refinery that once stood nearby. The surrounding factories have since been taken over by entrepreneurs, and the district is now part of Copenhagen's development. The Plant keeps the scale and the open structure of the factory.

The address is Raffinaderivej 22, 2300 København S, and the site has a directions page. The venue can be reached by telephone at +45 28 57 66 67 or by e-mail.
