What VOLLMER | Vollmer Aluminiumhandel GmbH & Co. KG does

VOLLMER (Vollmer Aluminiumhandel GmbH & Co. KG) is a privately held, family-owned German system provider for roof and facade building envelope solutions, founded in 1968 in Lichtenstein and now in its third generation under the Vollmer Gruppe. The company manufactures and distributes profile sheets (trapezoidal, corrugated, tile, and siding profiles in aluminium and steel), sandwich elements, transparent plastics (PLASTEX brand), insulation materials, aluminium building elements (windows, doors, fire-protection constructions via Schüco), window sill systems (GUNTIA), the PRO+ modular facade system, and since 2023 photovoltaic components (modules, mounting, storage) distributed through the VOLTH Materials subsidiary. Approximately 80 employees operate across 9 locations in Germany, Hungary, and Poland, with 92% of products produced or refined in-house, supported by dedicated competence centres for Ziegonal rollforming (Krostitz), bending/bombierung (Großthiemig), plastics (Eberswalde), and PV warehousing (Reutlingen).

The company operates a hybrid B2B distribution model: regional field sales with on-site consultation at construction sites, an inside sales contact centre, an online shop (shop.vah.de) for SMB and individual buyers, and a growing assembly partner network for installation of windows, doors, and facade elements. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales with project-based pricing, supplemented by value-added processing services (custom cutting, bending, coating) and transactional logistics fees. The customer base spans industrial and commercial construction (factories, warehouses, truck centres), public-sector projects (schools, fire stations), residential construction, and a network of craftsmen/assembly partners. Named reference projects include Mercedes-Benz Truckstore Leppersdorf, Rossmann Schmölln, Schule Cecilienviertel Berlin, Spreepark Berlin, and the 180-unit Keltersiedlung Stuttgart, alongside partnerships with component suppliers Trina Solar, AIKO Solar, K2 Systems, Schletter Group, and Huawei FusionSolar. The 2025 rebrand from Vollmer Aluminium to VOLLMER reflects the shift from a single-material specialist to a multi-material, multi-product system provider.

Direct peers

• Trimo: Trimo is a Slovenian manufacturer of modular building envelope solutions including metal sandwich panels and facade systems. Comparable to Vollmer in delivering integrated roof and facade kits with own production and a focus on commercial and industrial projects.
• Isocab (Kingspan): Isocab, now part of Kingspan, is a Benelux manufacturer of insulated sandwich panels for industrial and commercial buildings. It directly overlaps with Vollmer's sandwich-element product line and competes for the same construction-specifier customers.
• Joris Ide: Joris Ide is a Benelux-headquartered manufacturer of metal roof and wall cladding, sandwich panels and purlins. It is a direct peer to Vollmer in profile sheets and insulated panels, serving similar industrial and commercial construction customers across Europe.
• Fischer Profil: Fischer Profil is a German manufacturer of trapezoidal and corrugated steel profiles for roof, wall and decking applications. It is a tightly overlapping direct peer to Vollmer's profile-sheet and rollforming business, primarily serving the German market.
• Ruukki (SSAB): Ruukki, part of SSAB, is a Northern European supplier of metal-based roofing, facade and building envelope solutions. It is one of the closest direct peers to Vollmer in terms of product mix (steel/aluminium profiles, sandwich panels, building elements) and multi-country European distribution.

Broad incumbents

• Kingspan Group: Kingspan is a global leader in insulated panels, roofing and facade systems. It overlaps with Vollmer's sandwich elements, profile sheets and Bauelemente, but competes at far larger scale across multiple continents.
• Tata Steel (Construction Products): Tata Steel Europe supplies metal building envelope products (roof and wall cladding, structural decking) across Europe. It is comparable to Vollmer as a multi-country supplier of metal roof and facade systems but operates at significantly larger scale and broader portfolio.
• ArcelorMittal Construction: ArcelorMittal Construction produces steel-based roofing, cladding and sandwich panels for the European non-residential market. It is comparable to Vollmer in product categories but competes as a large incumbent with far greater scale and capital base.

Regional players

• Plannja (SSAB): Plannja, part of SSAB, is a Nordic supplier of metal roofing, rainwater systems and facade products. Comparable in profile sheet and roof-system offering to Vollmer but operates primarily in Sweden, Norway and Finland rather than Germany/Central Europe.

Others

• SCHÜCO International KG: SCHÜCO is a global supplier of aluminium window, door and facade systems with which Vollmer has a strategic fire-protection partnership. It is an adjacent enabling partner/peer rather than a direct competitor, as Vollmer fabricates and distributes SCHÜCO-licensed Bauelemente products.
