History
Troldtekt was founded in 1935 by A/S L. Hammerich & Co., a trading company that discovered a factory in Troldhede and began producing cement-bonded wood wool panels using locally available Danish timber and Portland cement. The company expanded its product range in the 1960s by introducing white cement panels as an alternative to grey variants, which led to the development of natural wood products that became bestsellers. Sales accelerated when the asbestos crisis in the construction industry created demand for alternative materials. In recent years, Troldtekt adopted the Cradle to Cradle circular design concept and became an early adopter of environmental product declarations (EPDs) with independently verified environmental data.
