Middenfabriek

The Middenfabriek, built in 1863, is the heart of SugarFactory. As soon as you come in you understand why. Immediately upon entering you will get a view of the impressive atrium with no fewer than three storeys. Reminders of the building’s original purpose are everywhere you look: boilers, pillars, machinery. It makes an inspirational setting for a hackathon.

More and more companies are investing in this concept, which originated in Silicon Valley. At 6,000 square metres, the Middenfabriek is SugarFactory’ biggest space, making it perfect for hackathons. Its many period details provide an unusual backdrop, and it offers space for accompanying events and catering facilities.

And because a standard internet connection is not enough where hackathons are concerned, we have a high-power WiFi network. You can also combine different spaces to meet the specific needs of your hackathon. Beyond Banking organised a highly successful hackathon at SugarFactory.

The Middenfabriek is connected to the Pulppersloods and Binnenstraat event spaces.

History

SugarFactory was the Netherlands’ oldest sugar factory, operating from 1863 to 1992 and owned by CSM Suiker. The air was full of steam, the din of cranes and other machinery, and the smell of sugarbeet.

Since 2002, it has been undergoing redevelopment by the Cobraspen Group, transforming it into a unique event location while keeping the factory itself fully intact. It incorporates all the advanced technology you’d expect from a modern event venue, but this has been done subtly and with respect for the factory’s character.

The unique décor is testimony to the former sugar factory’s industrial grandeur, and it is still making history with many memorable events.
