Overview
Salamander is the window-and-door systems brand associated with Salamander Industrie-Produkte GmbH, a predominantly family-owned German company headquartered in Türkheim, in the Unterallgäu region. The company identifies 1917 as its year of establishment and describes itself as one of Europe’s leading system providers for highly energy-efficient plastic window and door systems. Its role is primarily as a systems and profile supplier to window manufacturers rather than as a direct installer: its customers use Salamander profiles in renovation and refurbishment as well as new construction, across residential and commercial projects. The company’s window and door range includes plastic window systems, entrance doors and sliding systems. Its website highlights systems such as bluEvolution, greenEvolution and evolutionDrive, alongside customizable colors and finishes, glazing choices, visualization tools and app-based solutions. Salamander presents energy efficiency, design, quality, delivery capability and service as central parts of its offer. It also emphasizes recyclable profiles and German-made quality; installation and project planning are carried out through certified specialist partners. Salamander Industrie-Produkte GmbH is broader than its myWindow business. The company lists five business areas: Salamander myWindow; ttp Papenburg, which makes customized plastic profiles and extrusion solutions; Salamander Extrutec Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary specializing in tools for plastic-profile extrusion; Salamander SPS, a producer of leather-fiber fabrics; and Salamander Decking, Fence & Facade, an outdoor profile-systems business within ttp Papenburg. These activities span building products, materials and industrial manufacturing. The company reports approximately 1,580 employees worldwide, around 1,800 customers and distribution in more than 85 countries. Its website recounts an earlier Salamander shoe-manufacturing history, but the commercial entity covered here is the present window-and-door systems business and its industrial group, not the separate shoe-retail brand.
History
Salamander’s current window-and-door business sits within a company whose official history also recounts the earlier Salamander shoe business. The company identifies 1917, in Türkheim/Unterallgäu, as the establishment year of Salamander Industrie-Produkte GmbH. Its present corporate description centers on supplying plastic window and door systems to window manufacturers, while the wider group also operates in custom plastic profiles, extrusion tooling, leather-fiber materials and outdoor profiles. The company’s account places the Salamander name’s early industrial story in footwear. In 1903, Jacob Sigle, Max Levi and Rudolf Moos introduced leather shoes under the Salamander name, with production innovations intended to make well-designed shoes more affordable. This is part of the brand’s historical background, not the founding date given for the present industrial company. The official history also notes a patented process for making recycled leather from shoe-production offcuts in 1923, and the use of electricity from the company’s own hydroelectric plant from 1917. In 1937, the shoe business introduced Lurchi as a way to make shoe shopping more appealing to children. Salamander Industrie-Produkte GmbH’s current profile is that of a diversified industrial group and a European supplier of highly energy-efficient plastic window and door systems. Its myWindow division serves window manufacturers with profiles and related solutions. The product range includes systems such as bluEvolution, greenEvolution and evolutionDrive, used in renovation, refurbishment and new construction. The company describes its systems as adaptable to different architectural styles and offers customizable colors, finishes and glazing configurations. It connects customers with certified specialist partners for project planning and installation. The company’s corporate divisions show the breadth of the group beyond windows. These include ttp Papenburg’s customized plastic profiles and extrusion solutions, wholly owned Salamander Extrutec Solutions’ extrusion tooling, Salamander SPS’s leather-fiber fabrics, and Salamander Decking, Fence & Facade’s outdoor profile systems. The group describes itself as predominantly family-owned and headquartered in Türkheim, and reports worldwide operations, with distribution in more than 85 countries. Its stated focus on innovation, design and sustainability links the current building-products activity with a longer company narrative about quality and material reuse.
