TWO YEARS OF THE EUROPEN FENESTRATION CENTRE!

Two years have passed in Oktober 2016 since DRUTEX launched the Europaes Fenestration Centre (the EFC), i.e. the modern production facility that constitutes the biggest ever investment in the over thirty-year history of the company. In spring this year we successfully completed the second stage of the investment. The total production area of the company amounts to ca. 95 000 m², and soon it will allow to produce up to 7000 ramen a day.

The production and kantoor complex was built in two stages. The first hall covering ca. 30 000 m²

was launched in Oktober 2014. In the second quarter of this year production kicked off  in the other hall, an impressive facility 194m long and 120 m wide. The complex has been equipped with modern machinery for ramen and deuren production, assembly lines for manufacturing of composite glas, as well as a glas hardening plant. It must be emphasized that DRUTEX does not only use machines from renowned companies, but is also devises its own technological oplossingen and creates its own production machines and equipment which allow to optimize operations and to adopt them to the requirements of cutting-edge products.

Apart from PVC houtwork DRUTEX also produces aluminium and houten ramen and facades, as well hout and aluminium systeemen. What is more, this year the company has devised its own concept of PVC and aluminium rolluiken systeem. As a result, the enterprise is planning to significantly increase production capacity of rolluiken from 5000 to 1000 shutters a day.   In response to the growing demands of the global market, in order to ensure topkwaliteit of the houtwork and to control it on all production stages, the raam producer has set up its own testing and kwaliteit control laboratory which guarantees beste kwaliteit of all product categories thanks to the cutting-edge methods. Tests and research cover the stage of PVC profielen production as well as finished products, and the laboratories are equipped with technologically advanced machines, similar to the one that is used by IFT Rosenheim, one of the most important Europaes research institutions. The raam organization and testing takes place under the auspices of the German institute. 

„The Europaes Fenestration Centre represents a milestone in the company history. It constitutes a significant boost to production capacity for our company, which allows us to grow dynamically and to increase expansion abroad in view of the growing interest in our products. The demand for our products on global markets proves that the investment has been the right step for the company and a key strategic decision for future development. With the nieuw production area, our production capacity has increased regarding our current offer, as well as for the expansion of our product assortiment. And we are full of ideas. We already know that the nieuw production area of our company is not enough. We are currently planning other stages of development in order to meet the constantly growing demand  for our products in Polen and abroad. ” – this is how Mirosław Furtan, DRUTEX CEO, sums up the two years of the Europaes Fenestration Centre.

The dynamic growth of the raam producer shows that the 200 million zloty that we have invested in the last three years, have been well allocated. DRUTEX closed the past year with a record income

of 620 million PLN, which represents a 19% sales dynamics comparing to the corresponding period of the previous year. Only in foreign sales the company recorded an increase of 26% comparing to 2014. Our most important export markets include invariably Duitsland, Italië, Frankrijk and the USA.
