IJmuiden company remains leader in renovation market

ANNUAL OVERVIEW 2024: smarter production, growing demand and groundbreaking technology

As every year, in the latest issue of Profile we look back at the highlights of KUFA Window Systems in IJmuiden. This year became another confirmation of the course KUFA is on: progress through innovation and investment, even in challenging market conditions. The keywords in 2024? Smarter production, growing demand and groundbreaking technology.

January / February 

Success at Polyclose 2024 and start of new warehouse  

KUFA started 2024 with a strong presence at Polyclose in Ghent. The focus was on presenting innovative products such as the RenoS9000® renovation profile and the InviKu® concealed hinge system. "We noticed that visitors asked very targeted questions, proving that our solutions are really alive in the market," said Henk Weber and Didier Holslag. At the fair, KUFA also met with architects who were particularly enthusiastic about the products' slim design and durability.  

In addition to the fair, a new profile warehouse was also inaugurated during this period. This warehouse is intended to further strengthen the production capacity of sliding doors and is part of KUFA's strategy to further professionalize production processes.

March/April

A growing demand for sustainability and innovation  

In the spring, KUFA continued to work on its position as a leader in the renovation market. The RenoS9000® renovation profile, with its KOMO-certified HVL connections, continued to impress with seamless integration into existing building styles and a focus on reduced inconvenience to residents. These features are especially important in urban areas where efficiency and speed are priorities.  

In addition, the benefits of the InviKu® concealed hinge system were further highlighted, including improved burglar resistance and a sleek aesthetic finish. These products confirm KUFA's reputation as an innovative player in the window frame industry.

Summer

Smarter production processes and shorter delivery times 

KUFA took important steps in the summer months to improve production efficiency. New machines at the second location in IJmuiden make production processes not only faster, but also more precise. As a result, KUFA can now guarantee delivery times of only 6 to 8 weeks, compared to a market average of 16 to 20 weeks. This sets the company apart from competitors and offers customers enormous added value.  

This focus on automation is not only on speed, but also on quality. Margins of error have been significantly reduced, ensuring more reliable products and satisfied partners. The system was also designed with sustainability in mind, an important theme for KUFA.

Autumn

Progress despite headwinds  

Although the construction industry in the Netherlands is facing considerable challenges, KUFA is sticking to its strategy. "We don't get distracted," says Didier Holslag. "Our focus is always on progress. Innovation is the basis of our right to exist."  

This fall, KUFA also made further improvements to the RenoS9000® series and the InviKu® hinge system. The launch of new variants within these product lines shows that KUFA continues to respond to market needs, from more efficient renovations to sustainability.

Future Prospect  

With growth of 30 to 40% by 2024, KUFA shows that innovation and perseverance are the keys to success. The combination of pioneering products and smart investments enables the company to further conquer the market. Whether it's shorter delivery times, sustainable solutions or less inconvenience to residents, KUFA Window Systems proves time and again that it plays a leading role in the window frame industry.
