What Aluprof does
Aluprof SA is a European manufacturer of aluminum architectural systems headquartered in Bielsko-Biała, Poland, and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grupa Kęty (Kęty Group), a Polish diversified aluminum conglomerate publicly listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Founded in the mid-1940s, Aluprof has built more than seventy years of experience in aluminum profile systems, encompassing thermally insulated windows and doors, sliding and lift-and-slide door systems, bifold doors, mullion-transom curtain walls, fire-rated partitions, anti-burglary systems, and interior partitions, organized under its proprietary MB-series platform (e.g., MB-79N, MB-86N, MB-104 PASSIVE, MB-SKYLINE, MB-SR50N, MB-78EI).
The company complements its structural aluminum systems with a dedicated sun shading division covering venetian blinds, pergolas (SB 400/450/550), roller shutters (SK, SP, SAFETY PREMIUM), awnings (PALLADIO, AUSTRALIA, ITALIA), screens, and automation. Manufacturing runs across four Polish production plants — Bielsko-Biała, Opole, Goleszów, and Złotów — supported by an in-house Research and Innovation Center (Ogrodzona), a coating line, and a Completion and Dispatch Centre in Międzydzyrzecze Górne.
Aluprof goes to market as a B2B2C systems supplier, selling profile-and-accessory kits via an authorized fabricator/manufacturer network, regional subsidiaries in the UK, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, and other markets, nine foreign branches across Europe and the United States, and showrooms in Bielsko-Biała, Warsaw, London, Prague, and Vietnam. Its buyer base spans architects and specifiers, authorized window and facade manufacturers, commercial and institutional construction (including projects such as Google HQ, ICE Kraków, Hayward Gallery London, and the Nobu Hotel Warsaw), and, increasingly, individual homeowners purchasing sun shading and outdoor-living products. Distribution covers 57 countries, with the company holding a dense portfolio of international certifications (IFT Rosenheim, Passive House, Cradle to Cradle, EPD, ATG, DIBt Ü, Certifire, ISO) that underpin qualification in regulated European tenders.
