What KRI does
KRI S.A. is a Geneva-based Société Anonyme operating as an integrated manufacturer and installer of window and door systems for the Swiss renovation and new construction market. The company was founded in 2013 and maintains a single regional production and service footprint in the Acacias district of Geneva, with 11-50 employees. KRI's product portfolio spans six window/door material families (wood including heritage-grade Fenêtre Bois à l'Ancienne, PVC, aluminum, mixed wood/aluminum, mixed PVC/aluminum, and traditional wood) and three solar protection lines (Volet Roulant roller shutters, exterior and interior stores/blinds, and Moustiquaire mosquito nets). Technical differentiation is achieved through specification of established component systems: Schüco window systems for aluminum/mixed frames, Roto-Frank hardware (notably corrosion-protected hinges and handles for wood/aluminum units), and Swisspacer thermal spacers in high-performance double and triple glazing, with wood-aluminum units reaching Uw values down to 0.7 W/(m²K) and acoustic insulation up to Rw 51 dB. Integrated ventilation options (non-visible and hygro-regulating) address Swiss energy and indoor air quality standards.
KRI's business model is project-based, generating revenue through one-time sale of manufactured products combined with professional installation services, including removal and disposal of existing systems. There are no recurring software or service fees, and no publicly disclosed pricing - quotes are customized per project specification. The go-to-market is direct enterprise and mid-market field sales targeting property owners, real estate investors, building managers, and construction firms in Switzerland, with named customers including Pensimo/BVK and Patrimonium (real estate investment), Losinger Marazzi (construction), and private property owners. Marketing is lean: a product-and-reference website, a newsletter, and occasional earned media (PME Magazine, local Genevan press). The business is operated under a corporate structure distinct from the copyright holder "KRIMMO" listed on the website footer, suggesting a holding company arrangement, though formal ownership is not publicly disclosed.

KRI competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Finstral: Italian/South-Tyrolean premium manufacturer of windows and doors in PVC, aluminium, wood and wood/aluminium. Most directly comparable to KRI in material mix, performance positioning and direct-to-installer sales model, with broader European scale.
- EgoKiefer: Swiss leader in windows and doors (part of AFG Arbonia). Competes head-to-head with KRI in the Swiss renovation and new-build market with a similar wood/PVC/aluminium portfolio and installation services.
- 4B AG: Swiss high-end window and façade manufacturer based in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Closely comparable to KRI in material mix, customisation orientation and target on heritage/renovation projects.
- Griesser AG: Swiss manufacturer of solar protection (roller shutters, external venetian blinds, awnings). Directly comparable to KRI's volet roulant and store lines, serving the same Swiss renovation and new-build market.
Broad incumbents
- Aluprof: Large European aluminium systems producer (part of Grupa Kęty) supplying window, door and façade systems. Competes with KRI's aluminium and mixed-material window lines on price-performance across European markets.
- Reynaers Aluminium: Belgian manufacturer of aluminium window, door and curtain-wall systems. Overlaps with KRI's aluminium and mixed window lines and competes for the same commercial and high-end residential projects.
- Schüeco: German global leader in aluminium and steel window/door systems. Already a KRI supplier, and competes with KRI at the system level across Europe, including the Swiss market.
- Internorm: Europe's largest family-owned window brand with PVC, wood/aluminium and timber-aluminium systems. Comparable in performance tier and energy-efficiency positioning but distributed across many European countries via dealer networks.
- Josko: Austrian premium wood and wood/aluminium window and door manufacturer with European distribution. Comparable product philosophy (high-performance, design-led windows) but operates at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
Regional players
- Schenker Storen: Swiss solar protection specialist owned by Griesser. Comparable to KRI's external blind and roller shutter offering, focused on the Swiss market with strong installation coverage.
