Danish quality since 1947

Ringsted Dun’s history begins in the little town of Ringsted. It was here that Ringsted Fjerfabrik was established in 1947 as a subsidiary to Ringsted Andels-Fjerkræslagteri (1932-1980) with the purpose of utilising down and feathers from the slaughterhouse for the production of duvets and pillows.

More than 70 years have gone by, and Ringsted Dun today is a respected brand famous for manufacturing top-of-the-line duvets and pillows of the highest quality. We hold the deepest respect for our craftsmanship and traditions, concentrate on what we are best at, yet never stop to further develop and refine our products, with due consideration for both animals and people.

Made in Denmark

All duvets and pillows from Ringsted Dun are “Made in Denmark”. We are proud of that!

It is Danish craftmanship that have made your new duvet and pillow from the inside to the outside. To ensure that the quality remains the best, your duvet and pillow are followed throughout the process by our competent staff.

By buying products that are Made in Denmark, you help to preserve and develop Danish jobs, as well as ensure proper conditions around the environment, animal welfare, human rights and working conditions.

In addition, it is good for the environment and the CO2 load to have a shorter transport time from factory to consumer.
