As a result, one of the most well-known German companies in the production of sectional and rolling gates became part of the ALUTECH production and sales holding.
Günther-Tore has been present on the Western European market for over 40 years. It is known as a manufacturer of industrial doors for large and very large openings. So, back in 1972, the company was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the manufacturer of the largest rolling shutters in the world - with an area of 700 m².
In addition to sectional doors, the Günther-Tore range also includes other types of industrial and garage doors, such as various types of rolling and grilles up to 15 and 30 m wide, respectively.
The ALUTECH group of companies acquired the headquarters of the Günther-Tore company near Frankfurt am Main, which will allow the holding to create an additional reserve of production capacities. Günther-Tore has production lines for all major components for sectional and rolling doors, including lines for sectional panels, steel and aluminum profiles in various sizes.
The ALUTECH group of companies also acquired control over the Günther-Tore distribution network, including sales companies in France, Germany and Austria. By expanding its sales network, ALUTECH gained access to new clients in the markets of Western Europe, Asia and Africa.
The significance of the transaction for the production and sales holding, as well as further plans in connection with the acquisition of the German company, commented Alexey Zhukov, General Director of the ALUTECH Group of Companies:
“We have known Günther-Tore for a long time. We are connected by close cooperation. When we started production of ALUTECH sectional doors, we relied on the experience and technologies of this particular German company. I can say that the quality of Günther components helped us to successfully enter the market of the CIS and Eastern Europe.
Over time, we have passed a more dynamic path in terms of improving sectional doors and have established our own production of components, introducing the most modern technologies in our factories. We will definitely transfer this experience to a plant in Germany, investing in further modernization of technological processes and the creation of new types of products. As a result, Günther-Tore products will become more competitive and marketed under their own Günther brand.
I would also like to note that the Günther-Tore company has a unique experience in the production of rolling and lattice gates, large gates. We will, of course, use the experience of the German manufacturer in this area to improve our own products. It is planned to develop the production of these types of gates in Germany and promote them in the markets of Eastern Europe. In the near future, we expect to offer our existing customers such products from Günther as rolling grilles and gates.
The acquisition of Günther-Tore is a strategic deal that brings together our expertise in gate manufacturing and promotion. This will significantly expand the range and increase the competitiveness of both companies. We plan to keep the Günther brand and breathe new life into the company by increasing the competitiveness of its products. At the same time, we will actively use the Günther-Tore distribution channels to promote ALUTECH garage and industrial doors to the countries of Europe, Asia and Africa.
In general, using the accumulated experience and sales network of the German company, we plan to increase the total turnover of the ALUTECH Group of Companies in export markets by 2–2.5 times in the next few years."
We are confident that our current and future customers will positively assess this step, which makes the ALUTECH Group of Companies even more competitive.
