Allow us to introduce ourselves: We are Gutex

Innovation by tradition

We've been setting standards since 1932 – as one of Europe's pioneers in wood fibre insulation.

We are Gutex: a leading manufacturer of environmentally friendly wood fibre insulation materials based in the Black Forest. For over 90 years, our family-run business has focused on sustainable materials and innovative technology, developing high-quality insulation products for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly construction.

For you. For the environment. For all of us.

Wood. Eco?
It makes sense!

By using wood as an insulating material, you are also using the carbon associated with it as a component of CO₂- so if you opt for an ecological building with wood fibre insulation, you are automatically making a contribution to preserving our living space - and, of course, to the architecture that reflects you. See for yourself!

Our "why" :

Preserving the earth's vital space

It is an important objective to which we contribute – and to which we want to continue contributing. Because sustainability is inherent in our products, systems and services, and characterises the way we think and act.

It couldn't be greener.

With wood – the most sustainable of all building materials.

Did you know that every tree absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere as it grows, stores the carbon and releases oxygen back into the air? When we use wood in construction, we also lock in the carbon stored within it. For every cubic metre of wood fibre insulation board, this amounts to around 250 kg of carbon that is not released into the atmosphere. Our CO₂ counter shows you the current figure day by day.

But that's not all: we also attach great importance to environmentally friendly standards when processing our wood from PEFC-certified forests. Find out exactly what this means under Production.
