STIMPFACH
Gebrüder Schneider
Fensterfabrik GmbH & Co. KG
THE FACADE COMPANY. From its origins as a small joinery, the company with its headquarters in Stimpfach has developed into one of the leading facade manufacturers in Europe. Sophisticated, tailor-made window and facade solutions made of wood, aluminium, steel, glass and stone in all imaginable combinations are our passion. And despite all the digital tools for the planning, design and production as well as state-of-the-art machinery, care, craftsmanship and a passion for unusual materials and surfaces continue to be the building blocks of our success.
An additional building block is the company’s uncompromising customer orientation: Each project is managed integrally by a fixed team that can draw on the expertise and capacities of a total of eight production and project locations in the field of facade construction within the Schneider Group if required. The project teams coordinate deadlines and the project management across the companies and national borders in addition to the technical consulting, design, prototyping, quality assurance, production, installation and after-sales service. The demands the company place upon itself have always remained the same for more than 60 years: we give everything to ensure that every architectural vision, however demanding, can be experienced by customers and architects.
Schneider Holding GmbH
Control centre for the subsidiaries the Schneider Group. Schneider Holding in Stimpfach is home to the head office for personnel, finance and controlling. In addition, technical expertise and synergies from the core competences of facade construction, mechanical engineering, turnkey construction and real estate project business are coordinated throughout the Group. As a result of this lateral thinking and a feeling for markets and trends we create intelligent solutions for our customers and release exciting areas of development potential for the group of companies.
Despite our considerable size, we are united across 18 companies and four countries by a common system of values that we live by every day with our more than 1,000 employees. A far-sighted approach and focus on the needs of our customers have contributed towards this healthy, steady growth. As a family business with a more than 100 year tradition, we are aware of our responsibility for the environment, the workforce and society. In all business areas we promote the economical use of raw materials and the development of sustainable solutions. These quality and environmental protection demands are underlined by regular certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and DIN EN ISO 14001:2015 as well as the use of PEFC/FSC-certified woods.
Schneider Bauelemente GmbH
Windows and facades for private housing and small properties. The company that was founded in 1992 dedicates itself to the sale and installation of windows, doors, roller shutters, conservatories, solar protection and insect screens, which is mainly for private housing. In addition to new construction projects, the team of qualified technical consultants is also the perfect partner for refurbishment and modernisation projects where high standards of quality, design, energy efficiency, safety and comfort are required.
RADEBURG
Radeburger Fensterbau GmbH
Specialists for sophisticated steel and aluminium facades. Within the Schneider Group, the experts for aluminium and steel facades, which are particularly challenging in engineering terms, as well as particularly large steel structures are concentrated at Radeburger Fensterbau GmbH. If required, they are combined with other materials such as natural stone, textile or solar elements. Structural glazing, fire and noise protection designs also form part of the portfolio.
A special highlight project in recent years that was constructed in the Radeburger Fensterbau factory halls was the unitised facade with its characteristic jagged balconies of glass and aluminium for the 10 George Street skyscraper in the new financial district of London’s Docklands. Additional reference projects include the large Tropical House in Berlin, the Hans Otto Theater in Potsdam, the Lehrter Bahnhof (train station) in Berlin or the Rolls-Royce factory in Goodwood, Great Britain.
Schneider Steel Construction GmbH
Facades as metal, glass and special structures. Our experts for aluminium mullion and transom structures and special designs for medium-sized properties in facade construction are based in Radeburg near Dresden.
The Schneider Steel Construction team offers consulting, planning, production and installation of complex facades made of the most diverse materials. The possibilities in the field of modern facade and roof structures are constantly being tested. The collaboration with the other facade construction companies and project offices of the Schneider Group is close, meaning a constant transfer of expertise is guaranteed. Well-known references in Germany include the glass facades for the renovated indoor swimming pool in the Olympic Park in Munich, the aluminium mullion and transom facades for the NCT Dresden (National Centre for Tumour Diseases) and the steel mullion and transom elements and aluminium doors for the renovation and extension of the Jewish Museum in Frankfurt.
CALAU
Rapid GmbH mechanical engineering & automation
Metal and glass facade construction for medium-sized properties. The Calau location near Cottbus was until 2010, among other things, the production plant of our Rapid Maschinenbau branch in Grosselfingen. Since 2005, the team has been dedicated to the project planning and production of high-quality engineering facades for property construction throughout Germany. The services range from cost-estimate, design and manufacture to the installation of complete building envelopes including the maintenance on relevant parts in the subsequent period. The projects mainly comprise the area of metal-glass facades as well as facade elements controlled by electric motors such as solar protection or smoke and heat ventilation systems. The completed projects often include entire building envelopes and complete services with very different structure types and material qualities such as components made of steel, aluminium, wood, plastics or natural stone.
LONDON
Schneider GB Ltd.
On site in the construction metropolis of London. In no other European city has as much construction work been performed in this millennium as in the capital of the United Kingdom. The skyline is not the only thing to be transformed by the spectacular high-rise buildings. Historical buildings from the Victorian or Edwardian eras are also modernised and gaps between buildings are filled with sophisticated mixed-use buildings. The London project office of the Schneider brothers that was founded in 1986 views itself as a “service hub” for customers in Great Britain and takes care of the project management, construction site support and facade installation. Spectacular facade projects such as Rathbone Square, Neo Bankside, Central Saint Giles or 48 Leicester Square only represent a small section of our London reference projects.
STRASBOURG
Schneider Facades s.a.r.l.
Haute Couture for building clothes. Schneider has been managing tailor-made facade construction projects from Strasbourg in Alsace, in French-speaking countries since 2014. The project office is responsible for sales in new projects and forms the contact for the project management, construction and installation fields. The geographical proximity to the customer and the construction site is an invaluable advantage especially in the case of major projects such as the General Secretariat of the European Parliamentin Luxembourg, which have been running for years. The futuristic facade of the Hager Forum in Obernai is also one of the Schneider company’s showcase projects in France.
KATY WROCLAWSKIE
Grupa Schneider Systemy Budowlane Sp. z o. o
Specialists for aluminium facades. The Polish Schneider site, founded in 1993, produces aluminium windows, doors and facade elements for the other facade construction companies in the Schneider Group. The company’s headquarters are located in Kąty Wrocławskie, about 25 kilometres from Wroclaw. A design team specialised in the material of aluminium in all its facets, a modern production facility covering an area of some 6,000 square metres as well as capacities for mock-ups and the construction of sample facades underline the high levels of professionalism here. By virtue of the high degree of specialisation, even unusual solutions for aluminium facades with high demands on design, construction and surface finishing do not pose any difficulties.
