Timeless, sustainable, robust

“We see steel as a timeless, sustainable, robust, and durable product which gives us the opportunity to offer a globally unique profile which is entirely made from steel,” says Willi Lüchinger, CEO of the Forster Group. “Unlike other profile makers, Forster does not use a plastic web to connect the two half-shells of a profile. Instead, we use a specially designed stainless-steel web. This improves the recyclability of the product, and its stability, without restricting the thermal properties of the system.”

Magnelis^® offers easy weldability and protection

The company has offered Magnelis^® solutions since they became aware of the unique steel coating in 2015. “In our business, the zinc-aluminium-magnesium Magnelis^® coating is primarily there to provide corrosion protection in transport and storage,” says Willi Lüchinger. “But the biggest benefit of Magnelis^® to us is the quality of the welding process. It is almost as easy to weld as black steel.”
