Niemetz Torsysteme

What Niemetz Torsysteme does

Niemetz Torsysteme GmbH is a third-generation, family-owned manufacturer of sectional doors and door components headquartered in Königsfeld, Upper Franconia, Bavaria. Founded in 1946 by master locksmith Paul Niemetz, the company operates a single integrated production site in Königsfeld with approximately 50 employees and self-identifies as Bavaria's largest garage door manufacturer. The product portfolio is anchored on Sektionaltore (sectional garage doors) in five design variants and four surface finishes, with matching side doors (Nebentüren), integrated walk-through doors (Schlupftüren), and industrial sectional doors (Industrietore) for halls, workshops, fire stations, truck and bus garages, and car washes. Adjacent offerings include diversified specialty products — the Transportmaus four-way pallet jack, Solarpan sheet metal profiles for solar applications, Jurathron elevated observation stands, and raised garden beds — and a B2B 'Systemprodukte' range of panels, aluminum profiles, EPDM/TPE seals, side-door kits, pre-cut door blades, and hardware sold to professional door manufacturers.

The underlying technology is a vertically integrated metal-fabrication stack: a proprietary panel line producing multi-patented hinged panels with integrated inside/outside finger-pinch protection and stainless steel frame capability unique in the market, plus modern CNC machining, a 5-axis machining center, automated panel processing, press brake, CNC punching, and in-house tool making. All Niemetz garage doors are tested to DIN EN13241-1 with thermal transmittance of U=1.4 W/(m²K), wind load Class 3–4, air permeability Class 4, and rain tightness Class 3, with optional RC2 burglary-resistance certification.

The business model is a quote-based, project-by-project sale of custom-manufactured doors and components, priced on specifications, dimensions, surface, color, and installation scope rather than via standardized SKUs. Revenue is generated across three channels: (1) direct regional sales with own installers (no subcontractors) handling the full consultation-to-installation cycle for end customers around Königsfeld; (2) direct sales of finished doors to system partners and customers well beyond Bavaria; and (3) wholesale of system components to professional door builders ('Torfabrikanten') across Germany. The company participates in regional trade fairs (Baufachmesse Lichtenfels, Immobilienmesse Franken Bamberg, Palmarkt Hollfeld, Gewerbeparkfest Kirchehrenbach) and complements field sales with a content-driven website (niemetz.de) supporting free online quote requests.
