Allow us to introduce ourselves: We are Gutex

Innovation by tradition

We've been setting standards since 1932 - as Europe's pioneer 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's an important objective to which we contribute - and to which we want to contribute. Because sustainability is in the nature of our products, systems and services, and characterises the way we think and act.

It couldn't be greener.

With wood - the most durable of all building materials.

Did you know that every tree absorbs CO₂when we use wood, we are also using the carbon that is linked to it. For every cubic metre of wood fibre insulation board, that represents around 250 kg that is not released into the atmosphere. Our CO₂will tell you from day to 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.
