The endeavour to make good things even better

Innovation has never been an alien concept for the company. We were one of the first companies to develop window profiles made of non-ferrous metals in the 30s. This diligence, this effort to find new applications and better solutions is preserved in the company to this day.

Since the early 60s the company has employed experts for the development & construction, who promote the development of new products. This innovative strength enabled the company to change from a small metal-working handicraft business into one of the leading manufacturers of sun and weather protection products.
