Our place of work is unusual in a few ways. The “Pot Rooms” are not really rooms, but massive buildings covering a stretch of almost 3 miles. Our stock room is no pantry either, with massive coils of spare wire stacked 60 feet from the ground. We welcome groups for guided tours. Send us a request for a tour by e-mail or call +354 430 1000 and we’ll do our best to find a convenient time to accommodate you.
