BAU (Building, Architecture, and Urban Planning), the world’s leading trade fair for architecture, materials, and systems, is held every two years. It brings together everyone involved in the international community for planning, building, and architectural design. Visitors include architects, planners, investors, representatives from the industrial and commercial sectors, the building trades, and certainly manufacturers of building systems and products.
BAU aggregates expertise from all sectors of industry and trades at a high international level. It facilitates a direct exchange of ideas and information, acts as an intermediary, and generates synergies. BAU has consistently been the ideal venue for investment decisions. It enables exhibitors to enter new international markets and provides all visitors with genuine, practice-oriented future prospects and lasting added value.
Aluprof attended BAU 2025 held in Munich from January 13th to 17th, 2025, to showcase their innovative window, door, façade, and sun-protection systems. Their 120-square-metre exhibit, located at booth 528 in Hall B1, featured a range of eco-friendly building solutions, aligning with the event’s focus on sustainable construction. Highlights included the new MB-79N thermally efficient window and door system, the MB-GFT100 ground floor treatment system, the MB-Opensky 120 Pergola, and the MB-82HS Lift and Slide Door System.
Participating in BAU 2025 provided Aluprof with an opportunity to present their latest sustainable solutions to a broad audience of industry professionals. Members of the Aluprof UK team attended and helped visitors at the exhibition whilst also bringing a contingent of fourteen specifier guests from the UK, these included colleagues from, Century Facades, Britplas, Elite Aluminium, AlufoldDirect, OWS, St James / Berkeley Group, Walsh Windows and Innovated Aluminium Technology.
Aluprof’s exhibition stand reinforced the fact that the business is actively engaged in reducing carbon emissions through several ongoing key business objectives: Investing in Low-Carbon Aluminium Production. Aluprof has achieved a carbon footprint of 2.79 tCO₂e per tonne of products by utilising advanced manufacturing processes and incorporating an average of 65% recycled aluminium scrap into new extrusion. Ongoing development of Energy-Efficient Products. Aluprof’s aluminium windows and doors enhance building energy efficiency, especially when specifying their class leading Passivhaus certified products, thereby decreasing operational carbon emissions.
By continuing to research and adopt Sustainable Practices. Aluprof emphasises energy-efficient processes and sustainable actions across all areas, including electricity consumption, heating, and recycling. Through these efforts, Aluprof contributes to a more sustainable Construction Industry and a reduction in global carbon emissions. This management of resources is under consistent review helping Aluprof to maintain its position as one of the world’s most efficient, vertically integrated, aluminium systems companies.
Aluprof UK have been supporting specifiers in the UK and Ireland for over fifteen years with advanced systems. Many UK and Ireland based fabricators and installers supply these systems and are on hand to offer surveys and cost analysis as to what improvements can be made with likely paybacks.
