Custom door panels enhancing home entrances

OBUK designs, produces and sells around 30,000 aluminum and plastic panels each year for front doors in the premium segment. With its broad design-oriented product range, the company has positioned itself as a specialist manufacturer of front door panels. Each OBUK door panel is hand-crafted from high-quality materials including aluminum and high-performance plastics. The company markets its products through a regionally organized sales network in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. By acquiring the EUMATIC/FROHMASCO group of companies with sites in Sittensen and Chociwel (Poland), OBUK has expanded its product range to include blanks for fillings. As a result, it has gained new target groups and tapped into additional foreign markets.
