About KE Fibertec

To sell "Good indoor climate" is more than just supplying 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 fiber technology and competent advising, we wish to give our customers the benefits of fabric 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 fabric-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 fabric-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 competencies 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.

Working Environment

Our employees are KE Fibertec's greatest asset, and therefore we prioritize their well-being in relation to their safety, health, and environment. The company is certified according to the ISO 45001:2018 Standard that ensures a good working environment. Further, we focus on the personal and professional development of every single employee to ensure that all members of our staff find it challenging and satisfactory to go to work.

Charity

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 organizations 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, thereby 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 saving initiatives throughout our organization. A reduction of the CO₂ emission not only benefits the environment but also the company's bottom line which in turn make sit possible for us to continue our work for sustainability.

At KE Fibertec, we care about the environment and about energy. We want to cause 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 CO₂ emissions.

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

KE Fibertec is certified acc. to ISO 14001 (environment) and DS/OHSAS 18001 (working environment), and our fabric 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.

Carbon neutral electricity from windmills

All electric power consumed by KE Fibertec and our weaving mill (KE Fibertec Væveri) is generated by windmills. Consequently, it is carbon 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 fabric ducts you are doing something good for the environment:

• Because of the low weight of fabric ducts, the fuel consumption during transport (and therefore the CO₂ emission) will decrease remarkably compared with transportation 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 fabric ducts is better, and it is therefore possible 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 fabric 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 fabric duct including mounting 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 fabric. In a typical fabric duct, the fabric 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: Fabric material, mounting rails, accessories and 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

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

As the only manufacturer of fabric ducts 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 fabric ducting. This gives us a unique opportunity to select raw materials that give our fabrics the exact properties we want and that benefit our customers. This applies to properties such as shrinkage stability, color 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 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 color 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 color range - including dark colors - 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 porosity), we can supply special products such as Nomex and anti-static Trevira CS.
