About KE Fibertec

To sell "Good indoor climate" is more than just selling air distribution products. To us it is about dialogue, competence, reliability and logistics.

Our philosophy is to start with the requirements and - through dialogue - design a solution that meets the expectations specified for a good indoor climate. Just as people are different, indoor climate requirements are different, too.


It is our objective to make "Air the way you want":

• Through advanced use of fibre technology and competent advising we wish to give our customers the benefits of textile based air distribution (heating, ventilation and cooling) in all types of buildings.
  
  
• We will continue to strengthen and develop our core competences in the R&D, logistics and production of textile based ventilation products in order to be the supplier of choice on selected markets worldwide.

We shall work hard to create sustainable solutions that will work year after year. A good cooperation goes further than delivery of the next order.

It is our vision to offer technology that makes a difference, and together with an efficient logistics function we feel well positioned to solve your next ventilation job.

Our criteria of success are (we want to build a culture based on):

• Dialogue: we want to be in a dialogue with our customers and cooperation partners to find joint solutions that meet the end user's expectations of healthy indoor climate.
  
  
• Quality: we want to supply the best quality in the market and on time. We do not compromise with quality, neither regarding design, documentation, nor finished products.
  
  
• Innovation and sustainability: we want to be innovative and creative - we want to set the standards in textile based ventilation products worldwide in functionality and in our choice of sustainable materials.
  
  
• Credibility: we want to be a professional partner with heavy demands on ourselves, our suppliers, and our cooperation partners.
  
  
• Openness and respect: we want to develop a culture throughout the group based on respect for the competences and differences of each individual. Regardless of position there must be room for opinions and for innovative ideas to be appreciated
  
  
• Honesty: we want to be honest in our communication - even if it hurts

For many years KE Fibertec have sponsored children's and handicap organizations as well as other organizations where we believe that we can make a difference.

We support the Danish Cancer Association, the Danish Childhood Cancer Organisation and other organisations who make life easier for the patients.

Our partners around the world also join our efforts. Recently, KE Fibertec in Mexico has donated a number of assistive devices to a nursing home in their local area.

Community actions are important to us. For instance we have collected toys and clothes for a children's home in Varnsdorf in the Czech Republic where we also have a production plant that provides jobs for a number of local workers.

Supporting the students

We are in regular contact with students at the Danish technical colleges and universities, hereby supporting them in their project assignments, practical training and field trips. We also work closely together with engineering students and scientists primarily at the University of Aalborg and the Technical University of Denmark with a view to jointly develop sustainable and efficient indoor climate solutions.

Environment and Energy

KE Fibertec care about the environment and we constantly work on energy savinginitiatives throughout our organization. A reduction of the CO₂emission not onlybenefits the environment but also the company's bottom line which in turn makesit possible for us to continue our work for sustainability.

Read more about environment and energy

At KE Fibertec we care about the environment and about energy. We want to make as little harm to the environment as possible both in production and in transportation of our products. Therefore, we have launched a number of in-house energy-saving initiatives to limit the CO₂ emission.

To show concern for the environment is to show responsibility and sustainable considerations. On top of that, it is good business.

KE Fibertec is certified acc. to ISO 14001 and our textile ducts are based on Oeko-Tex^® Standard 100 certified yarns

Cradle to Cradle

We have achieved a Cradle to Cradle certification of CradleVent documenting the sustainability of the product.

CO₂ neutral electricity from wind turbines

All electric power consumed by KE Fibertec and our weaving mill (KE Fibertec Væveri) is generated by wind turbines. Consequently, it is CO₂ neutral and not harmful to the environment.

EPD

The EPD is an environmental product declaration that documents the life cycle environmental impact of a product.

By choosing textile ducts you are doing something good for the environment:

• Because of the low weight of textile ducts the fuel consumption during transport (and therefore the CO₂ emission) will decrease remarkably compared with transporation of traditional steel ducts
  
  
• A properly dimensioned fabric system is able to function optimal at a lower pressure drop than conventional ceiling diffusers
  
  
• The air distribution with textile ducts is better, and it is therefore possbile to offer a solution that does not take in "unnecessary" air. This results in energy efficiency - and a better indoor environment.

An EPD is an environmental product declaration that documents the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. An EPD must be third-party evaluated.

KE Fibertec EPDs are developed in accordance with the requirements of EN 15804+A2:2019 and verified by IBU, Germany.

An EPD is a summary of an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment), which is documented in a more comprehensive report. The report is an in-depth and verified examination of the environmental impacts throughout the lifetime of the textile duct. KE Fibertec offers EPDs for GreenWeave and MultiWeave solutions and the verified reports can be downloaded here.

Along with the new EPDs, KE Fibertec has launched a new EPD generator where we can offer dynamic calculations per project. In the verified calculations, the environmental footprint of the entire product is GWP-Total in kg CO2 eq per 1 kg of total textile duct including suspension rails, accessories and packaging.

The environmental footprint is typically provided for the following conditions:

• Cradle to gate (A1-A3) For direct product comparisons
• Full lifetime (A1- C4) Lifetime calculation
• Reuse (D1-D3) Circularity
  
  

KE Fibertec offers full EPD documentation regardless of whether it is a quote or an order.

It is important to ask your supplier to make a complete calculation for the entire product and not just the textile. In a typical textile duct, the textile surface only accounts for 34-35% of the total environmental impact.

KE Fibertec only offers an EPD for the complete duct including installation and accessories, i.e.

1. Complete transparency
Complete product-specific third-party verified EPD (everything included: Textile material, suspension rails, accessories, packaging)

2. Project-based EPD generator
Everything tailored to the project at hand

3. Extra sustainability points in building certifications such as DNGB and BREEAM
Ask for KE Fibertec's updated documentation

4. Lower carbon footprint with KE Fibertec's TBV solutions
Achieve 5-6 times lower carbon footprint with KE Fibertec TBV solutions compared to *traditional steel solutions (Cradle to Gate (A1-A3) and lifecycle (A1-C4))
*)Compared to the industry association VELTEK's EPD for round spiro ducts

5. Take Back solutions

Your career at KE Fibertec
Our employees are our most important asset. We offer an informal and international working environment where you become part of a global company with a niche production of textile based ventilation. At KE Fibertec, we have a strong focus on your personal and professional development. We continuously build and develop your skills through job training, courses, workshops, feedback, coaching and other activities. No matter which team you join at KE Fibertec, we provide thorough training and induction when you join the company so that you are equipped to handle the tasks and responsibilities for which you are hired. As an employee at KE Fibertec, you will be part of a team. KE Fibertec is always on the lookout for new talent to help develop and secure future growth. If we have any vacancies, they will be listed below, but even if we don't have any open positions, we always welcome unsolicited applications at info@ke-fibertec.dk.

As the only manufacturer of textile ducting in the world, KE Fibertec has its own weaving mill. The company dates back to 1977 and is run by Frank Hansen, the third generation of the company. In 2020, we expanded the weaving mill with our own in-house laundry. In 2023, the laundry capacity was tripled and a new extension was built to house the KE Fibertec Group's material innovation centre.

KE Fibertec Væveri is the only company in the world market that exclusively weaves materials for textile based ventilation. This gives us a unique opportunity to select raw materials that give our textile materials the exact properties we want and that benefit our customers. This applies to properties such as shrinkage stability, colour fastness, fire properties that do not require leaching of spin oils before testing, High Dust Holding Capacity (longer washing intervals) and, not least, uniform materials with a completely uniform airflow per m2 even after repeated washing.

All materials are woven in Cradle to Cradle certified yarns, which is part of our circular business model. To ensure high colour fastness and minimum water consumption in the dyeing process, we only offer yarn-dyed materials that - compared to conventional piece dyeing - offer the benefit of approximately 65% less water consumption in the dyeing process. The textile industry worldwide is both famous and infamous for using even very large amounts of water resources for dyeing. At KE Fibertec, water consumption for dyeing is almost non-existent, and we can offer our entire colour range - including dark colours - with the same low environmental impact.

In addition to GreenWeave and Multiweave, which are woven in 100% polyester (Cradle to Cradle approved) and available in up to seven different variants (air permeable), we can supply special products such as Nomex and anti-static Trevira CS.
