From humble beginnings in a garage to a worldwide enterprise
It all started in 1983 in a small garage workshop with the idea that windows and doors could not only be turned, tilted and slid but also folded back and stacked away with the added benefit of saving space. The founders, of the company, Heinz-Theo Ebbert (†1990) and Herbert Holtgreife, developed the prototype of the first folding facade which was the basis on which the company has grown to the now internationally acting enterprise and worldwide market leader for folding glass facades and balcony glazing. The number of employees has increased from an initial figure of 13 to 460 worldwide.
