Our history

For more than 40 years, Danish Fibres A/S has been at the forefront of polypropylene fibre production and development.

Our company, originally named ‘Cemfiber A/S’, was founded in the 1980s in Varde, Denmark, as the industrial use of polypropylene fibres in concrete began to gain momentum.

From the very beginning, we have enjoyed being a pioneering company. In 1985, we obtained the world’s first patent for polypropylene monofilament fibres aimed at blast control. In 1986, we received another patent for polypropylene monofilament fibres designed for both blast control and concrete reinforcement.

CEO Palle Kuntz joined the company in 1996, bringing with him many years of experience from the glass wool fibre industry. In 2004, Palle Kuntz and a partner company acquired ownership of the business and renamed it Danish Fibres A/S. Two years later, Palle Kuntz became the majority shareholder and focused on expanding the customer base even further.

As a result, we now produce and distribute polypropylene fibres to customers all over the world – including Germany, the UK, USA, Canada, China, Malaysia, India, Qatar, Brazil, Sweden, Denmark and many other countries. Thanks to our high quality standards, we have supplied fibres to some of the world’s leading architectural and infrastructure projects.

We continue to develop new specialty fibre products in collaboration with our customers. A recent innovation is our on-site fibre cutting machine.

Danish Fibres A/S is based in Varde, Denmark.
