For business, residents, everyone

At the end of 2019, we put into use the first revitalized building after the former “Defum” machine tool factory. As a result of the re-construction, topping up and changing the way it is used, the former electrical workshop was transformed into an exhibition building – a multimedia centre of the Living Factory.

We are open to cooperation with external partners, to involvement of residents, to the development of civil society, which is open-minded and active.

Our project is based on services and special care for natural environment, because the Living Factory is the place that has never been built before in Poland:

– unique in terms of architecture,

– using the whole range of eco-friendly solutions and technologies,

– showing the way to societies which abandon large-scale industrial technologies and the use of fossil fuels in favour of green and blue energy,

– created from the beginning under the control of local community – with residents and for residents.

Implementation of the investment

The Living Factory project is composed of three closely related components:

A new traffic layout around the railway station, adapted to the challenge of Dąbrowa Górnicza city centre located on the area of the former Defum factory.
A new traffic layout around the main tram – bus – road route of Dąbrowa Górnicza, which involves the rearrangement of the following streets: Piłsudski, Królowej Jadwigi and Sobieski Streets.
Changes in the functions of the former Defum machine tool factory’s halls, creation of attractive public spaces around them and construction of new premises of the Factory.

The implementation of the first of the above mentioned components has just been started, and it involves also linking the Factory to Kościuszki and Kolejowa Streets.

Organisation of Events

Fabryka Pełna Życia Sp. z o.o. (The Living Factory) deals with the organisation of events such as fairs, exhibits, conferences and concerts. The zone at 3 Kościuszki Street in Dąbrowa Górnicza is an excellent meeting spot as well as social and artistic space for the implementation of even the most challenging projects.

The programme of factory-located events started at the beginning of July 2020, as one of the first such projects in the region. As part of the Factory Full of Events, over 100 different artistic, cultural and social projects were held until mid-September 2020, including concerts, DJ sets, movie shows, theatre performances, stand-ups, yoga and nordic walking classes, eco-workshops, games for the youngest, business meetings, meetings for senior citizens or food truck rallies.

In three months, the Living Factory was visited by more than 15 thousand people.

Social Projects

The Living Factory is the project which is open to people. We are committed to change our environment together, so we are always available to implement interesting, unconventional activities, events, initiatives and projects. We would like everyone to be co-creators of this place: residents, non-governmental organisations, artists, activists, cultural institutions and local entrepreneurs. And to all together make this area a place vibrant with life, culture and locality.

One of such projects is a social garden in the open green zone of the Living Factory, to be created in cooperation with the residents of Dąbrowa Górnicza and the Civitas Association.
