PRELIMINARY TRADE FAIR REPORT FOR RELEASE

GEZE at the BAU 2013 in Munich from 14 - 19 January 2013 in Hall B1, Stand 538

GEZE in motion!

GEZE in motion since 1863! In line with this motto GEZE GmbH will be presenting numerous innovations at BAU 2013 – the year of the company's 150th anniversary – which use cutting-edge technology, functionality and design to set door, window and safety technology in motion.

When GEZE sets windows and doors in motion it relies on ground-breaking behind-the-scenes technology that responds to the current and future needs of users, planners and technicians. An inherent part of GEZE's innovative strength is therefore not only new key technological features, but also sustainability aspects and the consideration given to the effects of demographic change, such as universal access for instance.

GEZE is rounding off its portfolio in all product areas by presenting new product solutions in the field of door technology and automatic door systems, glass systems, smoke and heat extraction and ventilation systems, as well as in the field of safety technology. Of course all the new features showcase GEZE's uniform consistent design and therefore meet the most exacting visual aesthetic standards.

We will be showcasing integrated, comprehensive system solutions from one source, that fulfil the specific requirements made of doors and windows within complex systems in all areas of buildings. Multi-functionality which combines, for instance, the controlling of the opening and closing processes of a door in escape and rescue routes with universal access, increased protection against burglary, fire and smoke protection, and natural smoke and heat exhaust as well as access management, offers the user the highest possible level of safety, comfort and efficiency. Very simple installation and numerous additional service features also contribute to this goal.

A key theme for GEZE at the trade fair is the networking of user-friendly system solutions that are integrated in a building system and can be centrally controlled. The networking and central control together with the monitoring of all automated doors and windows in the building, as well as of externally sourced components such as light and shading control systems, guarantee efficiency and comfort.

Innovation and progress – technological advances – these have been key guiding principles for GEZE for 150 years now. See for yourself by visiting the GEZE exhibition stand!
