About Fletco

FLETCO FOR THE DOMESTIC AND CONTRACT SECTOR…

Fletco Taepper manufactures wall-to-wall carpets for both the domestic and the contract market. Materials, design and quality are adapted accordingly. This means that the company offers approx. 30 quaIities in its standard range, each of which is manufactured in 5-50 shades.

The products are stored in rolls of approx. 25 metres, with all quaIities avaiIable in widths of both 4 and 5 metres.

The carpets are made of polyamide, polypropylene and wool.

Apart from the standard ranges, Fletco Tæpper also offers a special program with 5-10 quaIities. This special program has a shorter life than the standard ranges, which are maintained for at least three years.

ADVANCED FLEXIBLE MACHINERY…

Over a period of years, Fletco Taepper has implemented an ambitious investment programme in order to ensure it has sufficiently advanced, flexible machinery.

Today, the company has a state of-the-art production apparatus that is also characterised by its great flexibility. This makes it possible to convert at relatively little cost to meet possible changes in the needs of the market.

This commitment to new technology has led to a number of spin-off innovations, some of

which have been patented. This applies, for example, to the com­pany's convoyer innovation - an integrated transport system that was originally designed for the slaughterhouse industry, but which Fletco Tæpper now has exc1usive rights to within the carpet industry.

FLETCO HAS EUROPE AT ITS FEET…

Until 1975, Fletco Taepper pro­duced almost exclusively for the Danish market. Targeted strategy has changed all that. Today, 75% of produetion is exported, mainly to European countries' that include Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, the UK and the Netherlands.

Sales are through the company's own organisation, agents and importers. Pre­sentation takes place at internationally recognised trade fairs known for attracting decision makers. Fletco' s sales have been steadily increas­ing over a number of years. Even in markets with tough com­petition as regards prices, it has been able to gain and maintain a strong foothold. Fletco Taepper has also increased its market share in its most important markets.

Fletco Taepper cooperates closely with its yam-suppliers. It is important to have early access to new fibres, so that they can be tested in carpet manufacture.

THE COMPLETE FACTORY…

One of the aims of Fletco Taepper is to control each sector of the production. All functions do not have to take place under one roof, but it is nevertheless important to have a finger on the pulse of each and every process if one is to guarantee the quality of the finished product.

The actual manufacture of the carpets takes place at our own company. The carpet-backing is added at the backing-plant company Foamtex located next door, of which Fletco Tæpper is co-owner. Foamtex now also has a dye house and a laboratory.

The laboratory inspects all the raw materials used in production and tests all the finished products. Fletco has joined the common European marking system from TüV, with the laboratory checking that all requirements are met both in the production process and in the finished products. Fletco's carpets are also checked for international quality compliance and certification.
