Company profile

BFT was established by Herbert Bee in 1982 as a trade representation for custom building elements and in 1986 expanded to a retail business with its own service and installation department.

Since 1998, BFT has specialized in energy concepts for low-energy and passive houses and heat-insulating windows.

In 2003 with the development of the patented bio-fuel system as a sole heat source for passive houses, new ground was broken.

The “smokeless” fireplace was first presented to the public at the State Garden Show in Trier in 2004 in a passive house built especially for that occasion.

The interest in this groundbreaking project was encouraging.

Since 2005, the company’s efforts have been concentrated on bio-fuel systems.

In the same year, Herbert Bee was awarded the environment prize by the state of Rheinland-Pfalz.

The design and technology for the “smokeless” fireplaces was continually developed in the years since.
