Pro Aluminium & Glass

What Pro Aluminium & Glass does

Pro Aluminium & Glass is a privately held South African custom manufacturer and installer of architectural aluminium fenestration products, founded in 1987 and operating from dual regional hubs in Pinetown (KwaZulu Natal) and Meadowdale (Johannesburg/Gauteng). The company designs, fabricates, and installs aluminium windows and doors (casement, sliding, folding-stacking, hinged), curtain walling, facade cladding, sun control louvres (Hunter Douglas accredited), shopfronts, office partitioning, glass balustrades, patio enclosures, and Hunter Douglas ceilings for commercial, institutional, residential estate, and government projects. Its underlying technology centres on in-house custom aluminium extrusion fabrication, perforated aluminium composite panel production with steel sub-structure assembly, bespoke folding-stacking door mechanisms (3-10 panels up to 7.5m width), and full-height mullion curtain wall systems paired with Low-E performance glazing.

The company runs a project-based revenue model with bespoke quotation per project rather than published pricing, generating one-time revenue per installation rather than recurring contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, combining dedicated regional field sales teams, online quote request forms segmented by province, phone and WhatsApp intake, and a content-driven website portfolio showcase targeting architects, property developers, contractors, and homeowners. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no reseller or distributor intermediaries, and the Hunter Douglas accredited agent arrangement positions the company as a key channel partner for Hunter Douglas Architectural products in South Africa.

The business is 100% black owned with BBBEE Level 1 contributor status (135% recognition level) and holds multiple industry accreditations including SAGGA, AAAMSA, Master Builders Association of South Africa membership, and CIDB registration. The named client portfolio spans universities (DUT, MUT), luxury residential estates (Cotswold Downs, Izinga, Swallow Hills), commercial offices (Ridge 7 Umhlanga, Kiron Properties Bedfordview), mixed-use developments (2six2 Florida Road), student housing (South Point), government facilities (Amajuba Disaster Management Centre), and retail (MG Electrical). Headcount is stated as 51-100 employees, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Welfit Oddy: South African manufacturer of aluminium and glass products for architectural and industrial applications. Comparable to Pro Aluminium in offering custom-manufactured windows, doors, and structural glazing for commercial and residential markets.
• Bothof Aluminium: South African architectural aluminium fabricator and installer of windows, doors, shopfronts, and curtain walling. Direct peer to Pro Aluminium in product scope, market segments, and project-based service model.

Broad incumbents

• Technal (Hydro): International architectural aluminium systems brand owned by Hydro, serving commercial and residential construction projects. Comparable to Pro Aluminium in product scope (curtain walls, windows, doors) but with global scale and broader system offerings.
• Reynaers Aluminium South Africa: European supplier of architectural aluminium window, door, curtain wall, and sliding systems with a South African distribution footprint. Targets the same premium commercial and residential segment as Pro Aluminium and competes on similar project specifications.
• Wispeco Aluminium: South Africa's largest aluminium extruder and a broad supplier of architectural aluminium profiles and systems. Direct competitor for architectural fenestration projects, with a national footprint and broader product portfolio than Pro Aluminium.
• Stalcor (formerly Stewarts & Lloyds): Major South African steel and aluminium products distributor with presence in architectural applications. Competes in the broader metal fenestration and cladding supply market though with a wider product portfolio than Pro Aluminium's custom fabrication focus.
• Schüco South Africa: International premium architectural aluminium and curtain wall systems brand with a South African presence. Competes directly on high-end commercial fenestration projects where Pro Aluminium also bids, but with a much larger global R&D and brand budget.
• Aluk South Africa: International aluminium systems brand offering windows, doors, and curtain walling supplied through accredited local agents. Directly comparable business model to Pro Aluminium's Hunter Douglas agency, competing for mid-to-high-end architectural projects in South Africa.

Regional players
