What RP Technik does

RP Technik (legal entity RP Technik GmbH Profilsysteme) is a German-market brand of Swiss steel-profile manufacturer Jansen AG, headquartered in Bönen, Germany, with the parent group based in Oberriet, Switzerland. The company designs and manufactures steel profile systems for windows, doors, interior partitions, curtain walls, facades, and skylights, organized into three core product families: rp fineline (design-focused profiles with ultra-narrow 45 mm sight lines), rp hermetic (high-performance profiles integrating thermal, fire, smoke, anti-burglary, and bullet-resistance ratings up to EI120, RC4, and FB6), and rp tec (structural steel curtain walls for large spans). Technical differentiation rests on a modular base profile that delivers multiple fire-protection ratings with identical aesthetics, a tool-free parclose mounting system unique to narrow steel profiles, and three-level sealing for weather resistance up to E1050 Pa.

The business model is project-based B2B specification sales: architects and urban planners specify the systems during design, while execution is carried out by a network of trained specialist metalworkers (métalliers) who cut, weld, powder-coat, and install the profile systems on site. RP Technik supports this channel with technical catalogs, CAD files in DWG, and video tutorials (Atelier-pratique) accessible without registration. The company is private (no IPO, no funding events in the data) and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jansen AG; in France and French overseas territories the brand is distributed exclusively by Schüco France under a partnership arrangement. No financial disclosure is available — no revenue, headcount trend, or pricing is publicly stated.

The reference base spans cultural institutions (Humboldt Forum Berlin), public libraries (Munich Central Library, HEINZE award winner), heritage renovations across Germany, France, and the Netherlands, healthcare facilities, schools, and hospitality projects — indicating a diversified end-customer mix anchored in specialist, design-driven construction and historic-monument renovation rather than volume residential.

Core offering

RP Technik manufactures and sells steel profile systems for windows, doors, partitions, facades, and skylights under three product lines: rp fineline (design-focused systems with ultra-narrow 45mm sight lines), rp hermetic (high-performance systems with fire, smoke, bullet, and intrusion protection), and rp tec (structural steel curtain walls for large spans). Products are sold through channel partners and fabricated on-site by specialized metalworkers for new construction and historic monument renovation projects.

Product overview

RP Technik is a brand of Jansen AG (Switzerland) offering steel and glass profile systems for windows, doors, partitions, and facades. The portfolio consists of three main system lines: rp fineline (design-focused systems with ultra-thin visible faces from 45mm for windows, doors, and partitions), rp hermetic (high-performance systems with fire protection, smoke protection, anti-burglary, bullet resistance, and acoustic insulation capabilities), and rp tec (structural curtain wall and applied facade systems for large spans). Within rp fineline, the 70 series provides thermally insulated profiles (70W windows, 70D doors) while the 60 series offers non-insulated options. The rp hermetic family includes the 55 series (non-insulated) and 70 series (thermally insulated), with fire protection variants (55FP and 70FP) ranging from EI30 to EI120 ratings. The rp tec line covers curtain walls with visible faces from 45-60mm and a security-focused 60BR variant. Supporting accessories include design handles (Highland, Bern, Essential Line, Josh, Turn) in various materials and finishes.

Broad incumbents

• Wicona (Norsk Hydro): Norwegian-origin aluminum façade, window, and door system brand owned by Norsk Hydro. Broad incumbent competing with rp tec in curtain wall specifications across European commercial and public projects.
• Aluprof: Polish aluminum systems manufacturer (Grupa Kęty) serving the European architectural fenestration market. Competes in aluminum window, door, and curtain wall categories overlapping with rp tec and rp fineline.
• Schüco: German-based global leader in aluminum and steel window, door, and façade systems. Schüco is both a competitor in the broader fenestration market and RP Technik's exclusive French distributor, making it a uniquely comparable but conflicted peer.
• Reynaers Aluminium: Belgian-based European leader in aluminum window, door, and curtain wall systems. Competes with RP Technik in architectural specification for facades and windows but does not specialize in steel systems or the historic-renovation niche.
• Technal: French aluminum façade and window systems brand (Hydro). Competes with RP Technik in French architectural specifications, particularly interesting given RP Technik's exclusive Schücco France distribution arrangement in that market.

Direct peers

• Crittall Windows: British heritage manufacturer of steel windows and doors with strong brand recognition in the UK historic-renovation market. Direct peer in the steel fenestration niche, particularly for heritage and high-design projects.
• Secco Sistemi: Italian manufacturer of brass and steel profile systems for windows, doors, and partitions. Direct peer in the high-end steel/brass architectural fenestration niche, particularly for Italian and broader European heritage projects.
• Jansen AG: Swiss parent company of RP Technik and direct manufacturer of steel profile systems for windows, doors, and facades. Operates the same core business under its own brand, sharing technology platforms and serving overlapping architect/metalworker channels.
• Forster Profilsysteme: Swiss manufacturer of steel and stainless-steel profile systems for windows, doors, and facades, with strong fire-rated offerings. Closest direct competitor in the steel fenestration niche, particularly in Central Europe and for fire-protection applications.
• Vitrocsa: Swiss ultra-slim aluminum window and façade system maker. Competes with RP Technik at the high-design end of architectural fenestration, particularly for minimal sight lines and large transparent openings, often in luxury residential and cultural projects.
