About FIBROLITH
FIBROLITH Dämmstoffe GmbH produces ecological wood wool boards for acoustic, thermal and fire protection in Kempenich in the Eifel region. The portfolio includes acoustic boards, multi-layer boards with rigid foam or rock wool cores, and special boards. The boards are available in all RAL and NCS colours as well as with custom printing and decorative milling; an indoor-air-purifying coating (PURE GENIUS™) removes harmful gases such as VOCs and NOx from the room air. The raw material is wood from sustainable forestry with PEFC and FSC certification; all boards carry the Blue Angel eco-label. The company pursues CO2-neutral production and delivers worldwide. Since 2018, FIBROLITH has belonged to the family-owned SOPREMA Group headquartered in France. In addition, the company offers application engineering, a planning service with bill-of-quantities texts, a joint calculator and delivery including fixing materials.
