Awards & partnerships
Anyone can say sustainable and ecological. Various awards and partnerships prove that we don't just throw words around, but do what we say. Constant research and development is necessary to create products that can utilise the unique properties of sheep's wool in the best possible way. We are therefore all the more pleased that we are repeatedly honoured for our work and also receive our own Genius Awards.

For the expansion of our operating facilities, we used ecological and renewable materials. "High Tec" raw materials such as wood and sheep's wool. Innovative building technology and an advanced energy concept ensure a high level of comfort. Optimisation of energy requirements, which is based on builds up natural resources.
The building services includes a pellet heating system, a 1500 m² collector area, an absorption chiller, pipe and buffer insulation with sheep's wool, a daylight system with night ventilation and an innovative rainwater evaporation recooling system above the roof.
Our newest production hall with 1,600 m², which was completed in 2020, is completely climate-neutral. The entire flow of our operations with green electricity and own energy sources is obtained.
An overall concept that the jury of the Engery Globe Awards was convincing.

Felicitas Lehner is
Entrepreneur for sustainability
The WKO campaign "Entrepreneur for More Sustainability" aims to raise awareness of how self-employed women in Upper Austria live sustainability in various ways through their professional work.
For our environmentally friendly products but also our sustainable operating practices such as recycling, upcycling, biodegradation and the extensive avoidance of plastic packaging, Felicitas Lehner was therefore honoured in October 2022 with the "Entrepreneur for more sustainability" award to accept.
Operational logistics honoured with the
Constantinus Award
We develop all products and processes for 100% in-house. To this end, we work closely with our partners and experienced experts, including architects, engineers, timber constructors and designers.
For our operational logistics we were presented with the Constantinus Award. Due to the development of the STYLIT product line, this was unavoidable and increased productivity and wool consumption greatly. Within a year, sales increased from 150 tonnes to 450 tonnes of wool and a regional business became a market-shaping, international company.
