History

1965–1992: Beginnings

In 1965, Jan Reynaers created an aluminium construction company in Duffel, Belgium. He produced windows and doors using the Classic System, an aluminium system he had designed. This new system was easy to process, resulting in other aluminium joiners buying from him. In 1969, Reynaers Aluminium was converted into a public limited company. The company built a new plant at Oude Liersebaan 266 in Duffel. In the same year Jan Reynaers, together with the Dutchman Harry Siroo, founded Siral BV in Schijndel, Netherlands. The first steps outside Belgian borders were made. On 20 September 1973 Jan Reynaers died. His family took over the company, developing it into a successful organisation. In 1978, Reynaers started developing a thermal break profile series Thermo System.

The success of the thermal break profile series led to the creation of NV Erap, Reynaers' own production company for the insulation of profiles. In 1982 Reynaers started its activities in Ireland, followed by Germany in 1983 with the creation of Dynal GmbH (parent Reynaers GmbH). In 1985, a subsidiary was created in France, and in 1989 the United Kingdom followed. Exceptional export results were crowned with an “Export Oscar” presented by the Belgian Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs. In the early 1990s, Reynaers headed east. After Poland, sales activities were launched in the Czech Republic, Hungary, the Baltic States, Romania, Russia and Ukraine.

1993–2003: Expansion

Following the takeover, in 1993, of the Spanish system company Aluminios del Vallès, the number of employees in the Reynaers group rose to 322. The same year, the company was one of the first companies in the Belgian building sector to receive the ISO 9001 quality certification. In 1995, new sales offices were opened in the Swiss Frauenfeld and the Hungarian capital Budapest. The splitting up of the former Czechoslovakia led to the creation of a subsidiary in Prague, besides the existing office in Bratislava. The same year a cooperation agreement was signed in China with the Donglin Group in Yingkou. With the takeover in 1996 of Alunion, a subsidiary of the Pechiney Bâtiment group, Reynaers considerably increased its market share in France.

In 1998, a new Central European distribution centre was opened in Piaseczno near Warsaw. Early 1999, Reynaers launched the modular three-chamber Concept system. With the takeover in 2000 of Roval in the Netherlands, specialising in aluminium roof profiles, the product offer further expanded. Reynaers opened an office in Turkey in the same year. The integration of Alunion and Reynaers France was completed in 2001 with the opening of new headquarters in Lieusaint near Paris. In 2003, the company launched the CW 86 “cassette façade system”, the CR 120 conservatory system and the Brise Soleil shading systems. The Shanghai office also opened in 2003.

2004–Present: Globalisation

At the end of 2004 Reynaers Middle East was founded in Bahrain in the form of a joint venture. The same year, managing director Martine Reynaers was elected Manager of the Year in Belgium. With the acquisition in 2005 of Somalu, Reynaers strengthened its position on the French finished module market. An office was also opened in Vienna. In the summer of 2005, Reynaers took over the Italian aluminium system company Compostella Alluminio. In 2006, Reynaers Iran and Reynaers India were established. In January 2008, Reynaers Aluminium announced their acquisition of Alupol SA, a prominent provider of aluminium systems in Portugal. In October 2008, Reynaers opened offices in Mongolia, Thailand, Australia and Algeria. In 2009, distribution centres were opened in Italy, Ukraine and Portugal. In 2010, offices were opened in Singapore and Sydney, sales started in Canada. In 2011 a distribution centre was opened in Turkey. In 2012, additional offices were opened in Morocco and India.
