Siegware Turns 15
Conception:
Founded in 2009 with the very first batch of hardware landing in Australia in August 2010, Siegware came about to ensure secure supply for local European-style timber window manufacturer Paarhammer. And support a very young and small uPVC window and door industry in Australia.
In the early days, Siegware focused on introducing premium quality German-made window and door hardware systems by Siegenia, a household name and global leader in the industry. Siegware then proceeded to form partnerships with key manufacturers and suppliers in Europe and across the world.
Mature Technical Expertise, at the Core of Siegware
At the heart of Siegware Architectural Innovations are years of invaluable experience in window manufacturing and hardware technology that set the company apart in the realm of window and door hardware systems.
Siegware has cultivated a team of staff whose profound knowledge and expertise of window and door systems and the broader architectural hardware industry drives exceptional service and support. This isn’t just about knowing products—it’s about understanding the intricate needs of fabricators across Australia and New Zealand and delivering tailored solutions that enhance their craft.
The staff at Siegware aren’t merely suppliers; they are partners to fabricators, offering insights honed through years of working with European-standard systems and cutting-edge innovations. Whether it’s advising on the nuances of tilt-and-turn mechanisms or troubleshooting complex installation challenges, Siegware’s technical prowess ensures that fabricators receive not just products, but the confidence to execute their projects with precision. This commitment to excellence has made Siegware a trusted name, bridging the gap between high-quality hardware and the skilled hands that bring it to life across the country.
Expanding the scale and scope of energy efficiency across the industry:
Recognizing that sustainable practices must become the norm rather than the exception, the company has taken an active role in industry bodies across Australia and New Zealand. By aligning with organisations like the Australian Passive House Association, the uPVC Window Alliance, the Window & Glass Association New Zealand, and of course, the Australian Glass & Windows Association, Siegware is helping to amplify awareness and educate both fabricators and end-users about the benefits of energy-efficient building solutions.
Siegware fosters dialogue, shares technical know-how, and promotes standards that elevate the industry as a whole by equipping fabricators with the tools and knowledge to create high-performance products that reduce energy consumption and enhance comfort.
Passive House Standard
Since its early days, Siegware has been a trailblazer in this space, partnering with the Australian Passive House Association to host over ten practical training sessions - and counting. These workshops, designed for builders, architects, and tradespeople, are hands-on opportunities to master the techniques that define Passive House construction. With certified Passive House tradespeople on staff, the company brings a rare depth of knowledge to its mission.
The path ahead
Looking forward, the challenges for fabricators are in the automation of fully integrated production centres. Siegware assists with preparing and processing hardware information so it can be seamlessly uploaded to the relevant machining centre.
Apart from window and door hardware, Siegware is introducing innovative systems for the general construction of energy-efficient buildings. Examples include, highly advanced building wraps and airtightness systems, sealants, and fastening systems into the Australian market.
Siegware also offers to provide ongoing technical support and training to keep up with our constantly changing and improving industry.
