INCREASED MARKET SHARE IN THE UK
» » PROFINE UK AND ITS
KÖMMERLING brand have reported an
increase in profile sales for 2017 based on
audited figures, against a backdrop of market
contraction. This has resulted in the continued
trend of increasing market share in the UK for
the German systems giant.
It has been another hugely successful
year for the KÖMMERLING brand in
the UK, with trade partners and installers
eager to benefit from the impressive product
engineering of the C70 and O70 Gold
systems, along with the patented PremiLine
Pro patio door and large span lift and slide
PremiDoor offering.
In quarter 2, 2018, the company will be
unveiling System 76 in the flush, casement
and fully reversible formats, making it the
most technically advanced PVCu window
and door system designed for the UK
market, boasting hybrid options, along with
proEnergyTec profiles for Passivhaus and
other technologies. There will be products
from this system previewed at Fensterbau,
which will be held in Nuremburg, Germany
from March 21st-24th and the profine
Group will be the largest exhibitor at the
show.
