Finstral Finstral AG is one of the leading manufacturers of windows, doors and glass walls in Europe. Today, the family business has 14 production plants, 27 studios and around 1,650 employees and is represented in a total of 14 countries. Thanks to its in-house profile, insulating glass and element production, the company can precisely control the manufacturing process from the raw material to the finished window. This ensures the highest quality from a single source.

The task for AZO The production of high-quality windows also requires high-quality raw materials. This is where AZO comes into play. Large components, such as PVC powder, must be reliably discharged from silos in large quantities and transferred to the production process. Additives, stabilizers or colours, on the other hand, are delivered in big bags and each place their own demands on raw material handling. Here, suitable discharge aids as well as conveying and dosing methods are needed to provide the right quantity of each raw material to the right mixer at the right time- and thus ensure the high quality of the dryblend. A particular challenge was the implementation as a retrofit in the existing system.

Sustainability

Like AZO, Finstral AG also focuses on the durability of its products.

At the same time, the production process should consume as little energy as possible and use it sensibly. This is why Finstral invested in plants and systems from AZO in 2019.
