Gelatinefabriek, Protected industrial monument in Hasselt, Belgium.

The Gelatinefabriek complex features multiple brick buildings and a 60-meter-high chimney with distinctive 'Gelatines' lettering, situated along the canal.

Established in 1893 as Société des Produits Chimiques de Hasselt, the factory manufactured gelatin and glue until its closure in 1969.

The factory complex represents the industrial development of Hasselt, employing 300 workers at its peak and transforming raw materials from nearby slaughterhouses.

Located at Armand Hertzstraat 23-25, the factory site spans 24,875 square meters near the Kanaalkom waterway in northern Hasselt.

The factory's remaining structures include worker housing units and workshops, with the preserved chimney standing as a reminder of Hasselt's manufacturing heritage.
