Schüco identifies the opportunities for globalisation and extends its business into South America and China. Through its Metal Construction, PVC-U and Solar business divisions, the company provided solutions for the building envelope.
2000 As the energy performance of buildings became increasingly important, Schüco expanded its development activities in this area and introduced solutions for the building envelope. From the early stages of building design, the building envelope was increasingly considered an important factor for thermal insulation, daylight utilisation and the integration of solar technologies. To support a range of planning and operational requirements, Schüco offered window, door and façade systems for different applications.
2001 Schüco goes online: The new Schüco website goes live, providing faster user guidance and more efficient communication and information for customers.
2003 "e-drive" announces a new generation of windows that can be operated electronically without a handle.
2005 The Schüco Technology Center is accredited as an independent and certified test institute for building envelopes. TipTronic turn/tilt fittings are also launched.
2007 The Schüco AWS/ADS window and door systems set new standards and replace the Royal S system. The Schüco Competence Center is also opened at the Bielefeld headquarters, deepening the specialist knowledge of employees and partners through training tailored to target groups. The training in the integrated customer workshop is especially practical, with sessions on how to fabricate Schüco systems and use Schüco machines.
2008 Schüco commits to golf. It's an ideal match: precision and perfection in harmony with nature and technology. One year later, the inaugural Schüco Open is held featuring numerous international golf stars.
2009 Schüco introduced the 2° Concept for the building envelope. The concept brought together building envelope solutions with a focus on the energy performance of buildings and was aligned with the energy and climate policy objectives of the time.
