Fritz Kohl, founded in 1951 and one of the last established veneer factories in Germany, along with his internal startup Fritz Kohl Concepts (FKC), which specializes in the production of modern decors from real materials, contribute their expertise to revolutionize the development and manufacturing of technical veneers based on karuun®, also known as karuun® concepts. Our collaboration with FKC, a reputable and well-established supplier, allows us to create synergies by combining our manufacturing skills with our knowledge of karuun®.
As an outcome, we will continue to develop even more new designs based on karuun® stripe with and for our customers as part of our Nature Tech Service. Due to FKC’s expertise, we are able to respond nimbly to our customers’ requests and broaden the development and design possibilities of karuun® stripe to incorporate unique material combinations (such as karuun® stripe – metal – combinations). This is also in favour of the duration of series production.
While the automobile industry is the primary emphasis, OFS and FKC are open to investigating prospects in the yachting and interior design sectors as well. We are eager to work together to achieve the fantastic advancements we both have in mind, as well as the new opportunities this cooperation will bring.
