Albert Genau, a global leader in the design and manufacture of durable window systems, has turned to Essentra Components to develop a new espagnolette locking system for use across its window guillotine system.
Essentra Components created the Push Button Swinghandle Lock System to meet the specific needs of Albert Genau as it sought durable, reliable locking solutions across its sliding and folding glass systems. Momentary Micro Switch Plastic Dome Shank Buttons
The finished Swinghandle Lock product provided significant cost savings for Albert Genau and also won a prestigious RedDot IF Design and Good Design award.
Essentra Components, a partner of Albert Genau across its locking systems since 2015, worked with the glazing solutions manufacturer to develop the product with 3D CAD drawings and prototypes. These had to meet the objectives of creating an easy to operate, durable, reliable and long-lasting locking system. The locks also needed to seamlessly integrate into the new window systems, be easy to maintain, and fit the ergonomic and aesthetic requirements of Albert Genau based on its extensive customer research.
Adil Işildak, Chairman of the Board of Albert Genau, tells FM Magazine: “Our relationship with Essentra has been going from strength to strength. When we design a new product, we discuss possible locking options with Essentra and act accordingly.”
Serkan Ruzgar, Access Hardware Regional Sales Director APAC and EMEA at Essentra, adds: “We have a fantastic, long-lasting working relationship with Albert Genau and this latest locking system combines the expertise of both partners to deliver a truly award-winning locking system.
“We are very proud of this solution and our partnership and look forward to delivering more bespoke solutions for Albert Genau and other clients across our extensive portfolio.”
