The aluplast group is one of the largest and most innovative international manufacturers of plastic window systems. Today, its brand ranks third in a European brand comparison and fifth worldwide. This year, aluplast is commemorating its 25th anniversary of its founding, having become a global player within a quarter of a century. The aluplast group currently has 22 production sites and sales offices worldwide, with its customers numbering 1600 companies. Using aluplast’s annual production volume of 150,000 metric tons of PVC (for the extrusion of window systems), their customers manufacture 12 million windows per year. Thanks to their strict product policy, their cooperation with partner companies, their flexibility and market-oriented innovations, company owner Manfred J. Seitz and his sons Dirk Seitz and Patrick Seitz have succeeded in creating one of the most successful companies in the sector within just a few years.
