What GEALAN Fenster-Systeme does

GEALAN Fenster-Systeme GmbH is a German manufacturer of PVC profiles for windows, doors, and sliding systems, headquartered in Oberkotzau, Bavaria. The company operates two production sites in Germany (Oberkotzau and Tanna) and maintains wholly-owned distribution subsidiaries across France, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Croatia, and Serbia, employing more than 1,700 people across Europe. The product portfolio spans window profile systems (GEALAN-KUBUS®, GEALAN-KONTUR®, GEALAN-LINEAR®, S 9000, S 8000), sliding systems (GEALAN-SMOOVIO®, GEALAN-SMOOVE multislide), front door profiles, threshold solutions (GEALAN-COMFORT®, GEALAN-CAIRE®), and a smart-home building automation line under the TEXINO brand. Underlying technology centers on PVC extrusion combined with a highly automated in-house tool shop that produces extrusion tooling internally, plus proprietary innovations including GEALAN-acrylcolor® (a co-extruded acrylic surface with embedded color), IKD® heat insulation, STV® static glazing, and the BALANCE CO2-optimized profile range. Since 2014, GEALAN has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of family-run VEKA AG, a Sendenhorst-based industrial group.

Revenue is generated by selling PVC profile systems on a B2B basis to a network of window manufacturers, distributors, and through limited retail channels, supplemented by fees for partner services such as the GEALAN ACADEMY training program, the GEALAN eShop digital ordering platform, BIM/CAD planning tools for architects, and showroom equipment. The GTM motion is overwhelmingly channel-led: GEALAN positions itself as a tier-1 supplier to window fabricators and dealers across Europe, supported by direct architect/planner engagement through BIM/CAD tools and tender specifications. In February 2025, the company extended this motion into North America by opening a sales and marketing facility in Heath, Ohio, while continuing to manufacture in Germany. Reported annual sales reached EUR 320 million in 2025, with ongoing capital deployment including a EUR 16 million automated high-bay warehouse at the Tanna site and a EUR 6 million recycling hall scheduled to be fully operational by 2028.
