Reynaers Aluminium celebrates its 60th anniversary
With 60 years at the forefront of innovation and sustainable design, Reynaers Aluminium has been working with fabricators, architects and construction professionals to transform buildings and help to shape the future of the fenestration industry.
Since its inception in 1965 in a small workshop in Belgium, Reynaers has grown into one of the world’s leading systems’ houses, specialising in aluminium windows, doors and façade solutions.
With six decades of expertise, Reynaers has contributed to impactful projects in over 70 countries, from sustainable skyscrapers to energy-efficient, low carbon private homes, demonstrating its commitment to quality and innovation.
The building industry has experienced many changes throughout the years. However, Reynaers Aluminium, as an entrepreneurial family-owned business, has always turned challenges into opportunities. Bold yet considerate, our company dares to invest today to ensure a more prosperous tomorrow. After all, innovation and entrepreneurship are at the core of our DNA.
Reynaers’ global presence is bolstered by its local knowledge, supporting its extensive national partner networks with technical expertise, bespoke testing, digital tools and expert after-sales support.
Its digital eco-system has been evolving over the company's history, with landmark developments such as Avalon, a state-of-the-art Virtual reality room designed to visualise and evaluate projects before they are built. Additionally, DigiTrace digital product passports have been designed to allow partners instant access and complete transparency for performance, material and sustainability information. Such tools are designed for convenience, and as means of enhancing competency and best practice in the face of increasingly stringent regulations such as those evolving with changes to Document L, as well as those brought about by changes associated with The Building Safety Act.
The Reynaers brand is aligned with high performance systems and sustainable innovations for both commercial and residential sectors. Testing has been vital to the development of Reynaers systems, with the company having one of the most advanced façade test centres in the industry at its global HQ in Belgium. All Reynaers systems are rigorously tested to ensure compliance. Recent certifications include the Performance Assessment Specification (PAS 24:2022) of its Vision 7 Thermal Commercial Door with Concealed Panic Hardware, which has also achieved 1m open-close test cycles proving the highest level of durability.
