Former industrial site in Copenhagen, Denmark

**Valby Maskinfabrik** is a former industrial site now under conversion into a mixed-use neighbourhood in the [Valby](/source/Valby) district of [Copenhagen](/source/Copenhagen), [Denmark](/source/Denmark). It is located at the corner of [Vigerslev Allé](/source/Vigerslev_All%C3%A9) and [Gammel Køge Landevej](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gammel_K%C3%B8ge_Landevej&action=edit&redlink=1).

## History

Franz Šedivý: F. L. Smidth & Co.

The F. L. Smidt site in 1940

[F.L. Smidth](/source/FLSmidth) was founded by Frederik Læssøe Smidth in 1882 and the company was initially based in his mother's house in [Frederiksberg](/source/Frederiksberg).[1] In 1898 the company acquired a circa 25 ha area south of the village of Valby to build its own [machine factory](/source/Machine_factory). The site was used for manufacturing machinery for the concrete industry. In 1950, it was the workplace of 2,000 workers. The area was decommissioned as a manufacturing site in the early 1990s.[2] De Forenede Ejendomsselskaber acquired most of the site in 2001.

## Redevelopment

The masterplan for the area was designed by [Arkitema Architects](/source/Arkitema_Architects). It comprises approximately 1,200 apartments and 40,000 square metres of office space.
