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.

Environmental Mapping

To minimize resource requirements and monitor our initiatives the KE Fibertec group carries out an environmental mapping process every third year. With this documentation we are able to determine if our environmental objectives have been reached and define new and ambitious objectives.

We want to reduce our consumption of Electricity, Gas, CO₂, SO₂, NOx and wastewater discharge, and by comparing with our turnover we get a good picture of how well we use our ressources.

From 2009 to 2017 our ability to save energy and minimize the environmental impacts has improved considerably which can be seen from the graphs below.

KE Fibertec is one of few companies in Denmark to receive the Krone Smiley of the Danish Working Environment Service. The Krone Smiley is awarded to companies that work seriously to promote working environment.

An EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) is an environmental product declaration that documents the life cycle environmental impact of a product.

All material manufacturers are experiencing increasing demands to present documentation of the environmental impacts of their products, and KE Fibertec will soon be able to offer an EPD for textile ducts.

In order to get an independent and objective evaluation we commissioned the company 2.-0 LCA consultants to be in charge of the analysis, and it was performed according to ISO 14044 and the directions herein. The report is based on a textile duct of 10 metres, Ø 500 mm diameter and with an air volume of 5,000 m3/h.

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 documentation of the life-cycle environmental impact of a textile duct, e.g. CO2 emission (global warming), depletion of the ozone layer, release of hazardous waste etc.

An LCA enables us to compare textile ducts with the environmental profiles of other products, and at the same time it will be a tool to prioritize our optimization strategy as to which negative environmental impacts you wish to minimize.

KE Fibertec is the only manufacturer of textile ducts worldwide to have their own weaving mill. The weaving mill was established in 1972 and is today run by Mr Frank Hansen who is the manager and third generation of the family business.

KE Fibertec weaving mill exclusively manufactures fabrics for textile duct ventilation which is a unique situation on the global market and which gives us a valuable know-how on these materials for the benefit of our customers.

To have our own weaving mill just across the parking lot gives us a very flexible cooperation partner who can meet our demands and requests on especially quality control and supply security.

KE Fibertec weaving mill has very strict demands on suppliers of yarn, and all raw materials are subject to extensive input control to ensure that the permeability is unchanged even after many washes:

• Colour may vary no more than ∆E=1
• The textiles may shrink no more than 0,5%
• Maximum 1% spinning oil in the yarn (standard for raw materials 3.5-7%)

After input control the fabrics are woven on 8 looms in total - rapier looms and the more upgraded air jet looms.

To be able again to control the shrinkage, the fabrics are heat set, i.e. heated in a special oven at 160°-190°. At this stage the material can shrink maximum 0.5% after washing.

Before the fabrics leave the weaving mill, they undergo inspection on a light table to check for faults such as stains, and the permeability is checked as well.

A barcode enables us to monitor the fabric which gives us full traceability in relation to production date, permeability, etc. - from reel to finished product delivered and installed at the end user.

All materials are 100% polyester available in 3 different qualities:

• GreenWeave (DS approved, fire retardant - B-s1, d0)
• MultiWeave (fire retardant)
• Ordinary polyester

Further, we supply special materials such as Nomex and antistatic Trevira CS.

KE Fibertec weaving mill manufactures 7 different types of "permeability" and has a range of 89 different product items.
