Hope this is not completely OT.
I'll be in Stockholm for the next few days, and I thought it would be awesome to pay a visit to the Clavia factory!
Ok ok, I know this makes me sound like a fanboy... which I probably am, so I don't mind
Does anybody know if it's possible for a normal tourist to visit Clavia's HQ, and if there's a procedure to follow (write email, just pop up at the door...)?
Thanks!

Re: In Stockholm this week - visiting Nord HQ?
If I were in your shoes I'd write (or even ring) Nord directly or at least ask the Italian distributor about that, while you wait for some feedback here

Re: In Stockholm this week - visiting Nord HQ?
Kroffe is no longer employed there.
As a general rule, the public is not invited to tour the factory. Apart from other considerations, they like to keep a tight lid on future product development but have to worry that perhaps some prototype or work-in-progess ad copy, etc. might accidentally be seen by visitors.
Also, they have only a few weeks left before Midsommar and then July, when (I'm told) most all of Sweden shuts down for holiday. With two new products already released in prototype at the major trade shows, but not yet in production, they probably are rather busy with trying to move those things along.
It certainly doesn't hurt to try, but don't be overly disappointed if you get a negative response. I would not discourage you from going over there and having your picture taken in front of the building, though! Definitely a good one for the scrap book!

Re: In Stockholm this week - visiting Nord HQ?
Staffan was really kind and answered immediately.
Yes they don't usually allow visits except on specific occasions, for the precise reasons Pablo explained.
I didnt really expect anything different, but it cost nothing to try!
Anyway...
That's exactly what I'll do!
