Korjaamo

What Korjaamo does

Korjaamo (legal entity: Ratikka Group Oy; trade name Kulttuuritehdas Korjaamo) is a for-profit multi-venue cultural complex operating from a historic tram hall in Helsinki, Finland, headquartered at Töölönkatu 51 A-B. Founded in 2004, the company operates 11-50 employees and runs a portfolio of interconnected event venues — Korjaamohalli (300 m² main hall, capacity ~250), Kulmasali, Vaunusali, Vintti, Parvi, and an outdoor courtyard (Sisäpiha/Kesäpiha, 400 terrace seats) — together with a cinema (Korjaamo Kino, 4K projection) and an integrated restaurant (Bar & Bistro). The combined maximum capacity across all spaces is 1,200.

The business generates revenue from four streams: (1) ticket sales for in-house cultural programming (concerts, comedy, burlesque, cabaret, theater, quiz nights, cinema) priced €15-€49 per ticket and distributed via Lippu.fi and Tiketti; (2) private venue rentals starting at €1,200/day, bundled with AV technology, catering, and event staff; (3) restaurant and bar operations (lunch weekdays 11-14, evening service, weekend brunch); and (4) equipment and ancillary services. The customer base is split between B2C event attendees (primary), private event organizers (primary), corporate clients (seminars, launches, galas), and restaurant guests.

Distribution is omnichannel within Helsinki: direct physical venue access, the korjaamo.fi website (event calendar and rental inquiries), organic social (Facebook, Instagram), an email newsletter, and ticket platform partnerships. The co-located Ratikkamuseo (Tram Museum) shares the premises as an independent cultural tenant. Strategic partners include Interkult and Funky Amigos for world-music co-production and Kone Foundation plus the Regional Dance Centre of Western Finland for production funding. The company has no subsidiaries, no disclosed investors, no public listing, and no operations outside Finland.
