ABOUT US

Kvist Industries A/S takes active part in design, development and manufacturing of high quality wooden furniture.

Based on years of experience, along with extensive production equipment, we are capable of entering into highly complex and demanding projects with specific customers. Our ambition is to take part in securing a continuous development in an industry that has to be capable of both, appreciating classics as well as encouraging innovation.

Healthy business potential for our customers as well as ourselves is the foundation for future cooperation and growth of our company.

In this day and age, where there is a growing pressure from foreign sub-suppliers it is an important challenge for us to secure for our customers a competitive “package” of quality, service and price.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF DANISH DESIGN MANUFACTURING

In 2017, we are celebrating the latest milestone in the history of Kvist; 50 years of Danish design manufacturing for the Danish- and international market.

“Our 50th anniversary is an important milestone in the history of the company. It gives us the opportunity to reflect on our past and focus on our future goals.” Søren Kvist, CTO

Kvist Industries was built on great events throughout the history, which hold interesting milestones like joint ventures, fire in one of the buildings, the start-up of fabric production in Latvia, and the overtake of Tarm Stole & Møbelfabrik. All these has provided the company with more than 100 years of knowledge within the furniture industry.

At our headquarter in Årre, a nine meters long timeline has been exhibited to tell some of the milestones from the last 50 years. The timeline consists of historical memories told by previously owners, employees, and friends of Kvist Industries.

Our History

Furniture since 1967

The history of Kvist Industries goes back more than 3 centuries, as our production of wooden furniture dates all the way back to 1896, when the factory´s name at this point in history was Tarm Stole og Møbelfabrik placed in Tarm, Denmark.

Tarm Stole og Møbelfabrik was a former furniture and chairs factory whose production included the well-known FDB furniture. Kvist took over the factory and the former FDB drawings were a part of the sale. Many of the FDB design classics are still being manufactured today at Kvist factories in Denmark and Latvia with great respect to the elegance and craftsmanship of the designs from back then.

In 1967, Arne Kvist establishes the company Årre Facon Spænd in Årre, Denmark. Through the years, the company was going through joint ventures, merging and buying other companies whereas Tarm Stole og Møbelfabrik is one of those. During the twentieth century, the company played an important role in developing the Danish and international furniture industry.

In 2013, the company changes name to Kvist Industries and is owned by shares of the brothers Michael and Søren Kvist, Jens Bach Mortensen, CEO of Kvist Industries, Industry Udvikling and LGP Holding. The company is set up by a Board of Directors with Arne Kvist as the honorable member.

Today, we are still manufacturing a wide range of the world's most famous classic designs. We have been involved in the industrialization of the furniture industry and treating it with great respect for traditional craftsmanship, which we highly appreciate.

Kvist Industries is a company in the perpetual development and we are continuously trying to improve the Danish and foreing market within making wooden furniture within a high-quality design.

Kvist and FDB furniture dates back to the beginning in the 1950's
