What ALUCO does
ALUCO Aluminium Windows and Doors is a privately held, South Australia-based commercial fabricator and installer of aluminium and glass building envelope systems, founded in 1994 by twin brothers Chris and Dominic Burns. The company designs, fabricates, and installs custom aluminium window and door packages, specialist glazing, louvres and solar control systems, automatic door systems, and frameless fa\u00e7ade solutions for institutional, commercial, healthcare, education, industrial, hospitality, transport, and high-end residential projects. Operations run from a single Edwardstown factory supported by in-house CAD design, 3D-printed prototyping, and ISO 9001 quality management, with the workforce spanning project managers, estimators, fabricators, installers, and glaziers.
Revenue is generated primarily through project-based tenders and direct engagement with builders, developers, and architects across South Australia, complemented by the ATLAS Door Services subsidiary that provides tiered subscription maintenance and compliance services (Essential, Standard, Premium) for installed commercial door and window systems. Customer engagements are secured through long-standing relationships with major South Australian builders (Ahrens, SARAH Constructions, MOSSOP, BADGE, BESIX Watpac, Hindmarsh, Hansen Yuncken) and tier-one material suppliers (Alspec, Dormakaba, Capral, Viridian). The business is led by a four-person director team appointed in 2023, when the founders stepped back after 30 years, with a workforce that includes named heads of factory, estimation, finance, and project management.

- Aneeta Window Systems: Aneeta manufactures aluminium louvre windows and architectural window systems for commercial buildings; overlaps with ALUCO on louvre and specialty commercial window offerings.
