What Fischer Profil does

Fischer Profil GmbH is a German manufacturer of steel building envelope systems for roof and wall applications, founded in 1938 in Netphen-Deuz and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Steel Europe since 2007. The company produces sandwich panels (FischerTHERM with PUR/PIR cores and FischerFIREPROOF MW with mineral wool cores), steel trapezoidal profiles, cassette profiles, and custom kant profiles at a single Netphen-Deuz facility with annual steel processing capacity above 70,000 tonnes and a 200+ person workforce. Technical differentiation is anchored in DIN EN 14509-compliant fire-resistant elements with U-values down to 0.141 W/(m²K), Fischer Energy Saver sealing independently validated by RWTH Aachen to 100x below DIN air-tightness limits, digital-print coil coatings up to 4.0 m repeat spacing, and the patented FischerTHERM Carrier D GreenBox modular green roof system.

The company distributes globally from Netphen-Deuz via direct B2B sales targeting industrial and commercial construction developers, contractors, architects, and planners. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of building components and system solutions, with specification-driven go-to-market amplified through FischerACADEMY webinars, Fischer Architektenstudio advisory services, the FischerSHOWROOM 3D configurator, and a BIM and download resource library. The company holds DIN EN ISO 9001, CE marking per DIN EN 14509, DIBt technical approvals, and offers Tata Steel Colorcoat premium coatings backed by up to 40-year Confidex guarantees. Gordon Brede serves as Geschäftsführer (Managing Director).
