Troldtekt and society

At Troldtekt, we engage with society and are constantly in dialogue with our stakeholders.

Troldtekt’s factory in Troldhede is one of the town’s major employers. This also means it plays a major role, and given our ambition for growth, that role is only expected to increase in the coming years.

We attach great importance to good dialogue with our neighbours and work continuously to eliminate or reduce any inconvenience we may cause them. In recent years, for example, we have spent a very large sum of money on reducing the amount of noise, dust and particles.

We want to make Troldhede an attractive place to live, which also helps us to attract new employees to the area. That’s why we continuously support the life and development of the town. In recent years, we have done so by supporting the establishment of a new recreational ground and sponsoring the town’s sports centre.

Good acoustics are part of people’s wellbeing 

In collaboration with our employees, we defined an overarching objective for Troldtekt as a company in 2023. In addition to engaging internally, that purpose clearly encapsulates the role our solutions can play for end users: "We want to harness the benefits of good acoustics to create a healthy indoor climate with passion for people and the planet."

Acoustics and indoor climate have a major impact on people’s wellbeing and comfort. As we spend most of our time indoors, we need healthy buildings. Troldtekt acoustic panels are widely used – in schools, childcare institutions, offices, swimming pools, sports centres, restaurants and private homes – precisely to ensure a healthy indoor climate with good acoustics. The most important feature of Troldtekt panels is that they effectively absorb sound and provide a short reverberation time.

We also document the material health of our products. As part of Troldtekt’s Cradle to Cradle Certified®, our products have been thoroughly analysed down to 100 ppm (parts per million) and assessed for their impact on people and the environment.

In addition to Cradle to Cradle Certified, Troldtekt has achieved certification according to a number of indoor climate standards in Denmark and abroad: Danish Indoor Climate Labelling, Allergy UK, Sundahus, Finnish Indoor Air Association and Building Information Foundation RTS, as well as Der Blaue Engel.
