Market leader heroal makes buildings even more unique with CONTACT Software

heroal is the market leader in the field of modular aluminium system solutions for building envelopes. With CONTACT Elements, the company continues to drive its digitization: More efficient manufacturing processes accelerate the launch of new products to the market and enable a flexible response to individual customer requirements.

Modern building envelopes are far more than pure facades. With the symbiosis of function and design, they reflect the spirit of the times and technical progress. heroal, based in Verl/North Rhine-Westphalia, manufactures high-quality aluminium system solutions for roller shutters, sun protection, roller doors, windows, doors and facades. The products are used in construction projects all over the world.

The requirements for design, sustainability, safety and durability of the outer skin of buildings are constantly increasing on the part of architects, planners and authorities. In the course of the growing complexity of modern private and public buildings, heroal replaces its previous PLM system with CIM Database PLM based on the highly scalable CONTACT Elements platform.

On this basis, the company is taking the next step in digitization and is consistently focusing on increasing customer demands and market requirements.

"The efficient variant management and its outstanding process and project management convinced us of CONTACT Elements," says Kai Lusczyk, Head of Product Management at heroal.
