Carlsberg’s old factory site in Valby has for several years been under transformation into the new district, Carlsberg Byen.
The appearance of a number of the buildings, which in future will characterize the old brewery site, can largely thank people from the facade contractor KGC Denmark, the Danish branch of Lithuanian KG Construction, which produces, delivers and installs facades.
The facade company is currently active on the projects Dahlerups Tårn and Vogelius Tårn, which with 24 floors both reach 80 meters in the air. Common to the two projects of approximately 40,000 and 47,000 sq.m., respectively, is the turnkey contractor Züblin.
