History

A LONG-ESTABLISHED COMPANY WITH ROOTS

It is essential in a modern PVC-u window factory to view the complete production process in its entirety, from material delivery through to on-time delivery of windows.

This method of production is not a utopian dream – it is a vision that has already been realized. For Stürtz, the realization of visions has always been a matter of priority. Would you like to be a part of this vision? Then contact us and get to know our team. Your first step is to take a look at our past – and then take further steps!
