Going Batimat?

At the end of this month, Foterro will exhibit at Batimat in Paris to show how its digital portfolio can help window and façade manufacturers tackle everyday challenges across their businesses. Are you going?

Batimat 2026 takes place at the Paris Expo Porte De Versailles, from 28 September to 1 October. Forterro can be found in Hall 4 on Stand G093.

Visitors can discover how specialist software, industry expertise and future-ready technologies can help manufacturers improve performance today while preparing for tomorrow.

Window, door, conservatory and façade manufacturers are under increasing pressure to improve efficiency, address labour shortages and respond to rapidly changing market demands. Many companies are looking for practical improvements they can make today while preparing for new technologies and changing customer expectations. Batimat is a great place to start.

Visitors to the Foterro stand will be able to meet the teams behind digital technologies such as 3E Look, Klaes, Logikal, Logikal MES, Quotila and Unilink.

European expertise

The joint appearance follows Forterro's acquisition of European industry specialists including Orgadata, BM Group, Klaes and 3E, bringing together decades of expertise across aluminium, PVC and timber applications. These businesses now form one of the industry's broadest software portfolios for window, door, conservatory and façade manufacturers, while maintaining the specialist knowledge and close customer relationships that made them successful in the first place.

At the Forterro stand, visitors will be able to discuss practical topics including:

•      ERP modernisation and business process optimisation.

•      Multi-site operations and organisational visibility.

•      Faster estimating and quotation processes.

•      Engineering and production preparation.

•      Real-time production transparency.

•      CNC integration and automation.

•      Cloud-based technologies and future digitalisation strategies.

October Masterclass

Forterro will also host a Batimat Masterclass exploring why integrated processes are becoming a competitive advantage. Taking place on Thursday, 1 October, from 10:00 to 10:30 in Agora 4, Hall 4, the session will examine how labour shortages, increasing complexity and evolving customer expectations are driving demand for better-connected processes, data and technologies across the value chain.

Batimat

The conversations at Batimat are unlikely to stop at today's operational challenges. Many manufacturers are also considering how new technologies, changing customer expectations and increasing connectivity will shape their businesses over the coming years. How can they make better use of the data they already have? How can they connect processes more effectively across the business? And where can technologies such as artificial intelligence deliver genuine value in practice?

Bernd Hillbrands, Managing Director, Forterro Windows & Doors, said: "Our customers are balancing a lot of different priorities right now, from productivity and automation to workforce challenges and long-term technology decisions. They are looking for expertise, proven solutions and a partner that understands where they are today and where they want to go next.

“Batimat marks the first time we are presenting our Windows & Doors portfolio together under the Forterro brand. By bringing together the knowledge, experience and technologies of these businesses, we can offer customers both practical support for today's challenges and a strong foundation for the future."
