 Overview
 Description
The building looks enormous from outside, but doesn't offer much to explore. Even though you could park an airliner inside production halls, all machinaery has been removed, and the halls are just huge, empty spaces. The most interesting parts are in the junction between the halls: two high, climbable towers and an almost intact control room offer some interesting details that save the otherwise quite dull building.

     History
    Little is known about this large concrete element factory. According to a document of Finland’s environmental administration the place had been used for concrete-related industrial activity since the 1960s, and finally Parma Betonila Oy, a large producer of building material, turned the lights off for good in 2003. A real estate company was looking forward for demolition and soil cleaning, and the permission was granted four days prior our visit. The building was finally demolished in autumn 2005.
