The building complex is situated in a beautiful, rural landscape near Tveje Merløse on the outskirts of Holbæk. The factory complex is sited on a plateau in the middle of two falls in the terrain. The production and administration buildings are designed so that they create a single entity with vast, quiet surfaces. The organisation’s production facilities are shown-off wherever possible, via large glass facades.

The building is configured in three wings to ensure optimal access and supply lines, and allow the possibility for a 50% expansion of the individual buildings without altering the existing building relationships or the internal traffic.

In 2009-2010 PLH designed an extension of the buildings with new staff and administration areas and warehouse and workshop areas.
