Trade show with lasting impact

As the world’s leading trade fair for windows, doors and facades, FENSTERBAU FRONTALE in Nuremberg, Germany, is a must-attend event for the VEKA Group. In 2026, the group once again used the trade fair as a central platform for networking, new ideas and partnerships.

With its two system providers, VEKA and GEALAN, as well as its joint digitalization partner, Digital Building Solutions, the group showed strength and unity. Over the course of four busy days at the trade show, numerous national and international visitors took the opportunity to learn about new products, services and digital solutions across the entire value chain in window construction.

Partnership, system expertise and market-driven innovations at VEKA

VEKA drew an overall positive conclusion following the trade show. The modern and open booth provided enough space for one-on-one conversations and direct interaction with partner companies from Germany and abroad. Under the motto “Strong in Profile. Stronger with System,” VEKA emphasized the importance of system expertise, services and close collaboration for mutual success.

The focus was on market-driven innovations of the VEKA portfolio. The new VEKA PURE 82 profile system, which combines minimalist design, energy efficiency and sustainability, received significant attention. In addition, VEKA presented new color and decor concepts for the VEKA COLOUR EDITION, innovative front door solutions as well as devlopments in sliding and shading systems. Topics such as window recycling through VEKA Recycling and digital services were also presented in a clear and practical way.

Eye-catching trade show concept and international response at GEALAN

GEALAN once again impressed visitors at FENSTERBAU FRONTALE 2026 with a unique and eye-catching trade show concept. The golden cube, serving as the central focal point, and four thematically organized areas provided the setting for in-depth discussions with window manufacturers, architects and planners from around the world. A broad portfolio of finishes, window systems, door and sliding solutions as well as complementary services and digital tools, was presented.

DBS's digital solutions as a unifying element

As the VEKA Group’s digitalization partner, Digital Building Solutions GmbH was represented at the VEKA and GEALAN booths. The close integration of system expertise and digital solutions proved to be a real added value for visitors. The focus was on modular tools and services for window manufacturers, in order to digitalize their processes step by step.

The DBS WinDo Pass generated significant interest as a practical introduction to the upcoming requirements surrounding the EU’s digital product passport (DPP). The offering was complemented by solutions for master data management and consulting, as well as visualization and digital planning. The in-depth discussions with industry professionals and partners confirmed the growing demand of digital solutions within the industry.
