CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF DANISH DESIGN MANUFACTURING

This year, Kvist Industries is celebrating the latest milestone in the company's history; 50 years of Danish design manufacturing for the Danish and the 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.” Michael Kvist, CCO

Kvist Industries has built on great events throughout its 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 Kvist Industries headquarter, a nine meters long timeline is being 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 the company.

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. This may involve that some tasks can be placed in so-called “low-wage” countries but always with the guarantee that our own craftsmen and technicians can ensure the same high quality standards.

Our History

Furniture since 1967

The history behind Kvist Industries goes back more than 3 centuries. Our production of wooden furniture dates all the way back to 1896 when the factory was founded in Tarm.

Tarm factory was a former furniture and chairs factory whose production included the well-known FDB furniture. As Kvist took over the factory in Tarm the former FDB drawings came along. Design classics are still being manufactured today with respect to the elegance and craftsmanship for the designs back then.

During the twentieth century the company has played an important role in the development of the Danish and international furniture industry.

We are still manufacturing a wide range of the world's famous classic designs. We have been involved in the industrialisation of the furniture industry but always with respect for traditional craftsmanship.

Kvist Industries is a company in perpetual development and we are continuously writing new chapters to our history.

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