WE ARE A DEDICATED FULL SERVICE PARTNER
Owner, president and Chariman Martin Meesenburg
STATEMENT FROM THE CHAIRMAN: “The need for supplying added value to the parties in the building process have grown significantly over the past few years. With a wide range of manufactures establishing themselves directly in the market the customers are demanding more independent parties that
can add reliable value to
the project on a broad spectrum of products. At the same time the need for having a “full service” partner that will take responsibility - not only specifying and delivering the products - but also carry out installation and after service is in high demand. gb meesenburg has been in the business for many years and know exactly what our partners and customers are looking for in a supplier - we care about YOUR business and take pride in delivering beyond what our customers expect from us, which has made us a preferred partner in the industry.”

d LINE d line is a global supplier of interior concepts with a product portfolio comprising door levers, locks, sanitary hardware, handrail, signs & access control equipment. The d line series are all designed by the Danish designer and Professor Knud Holscher. In 1971, d line‘s first lever, the U-shape, Ă˜14 mm, was manufactured. It was soon followed by the L-shape, which firmly established the d line ethos of stalwart, minimalist design. The overriding characteristic of these first two levers has been maintained in d line products ever since: the bent sections on all metal tubes maintain the radius of the even sections. This ensures a well-balanced visual impression. Over the years more designs emerged from the hands of Knud Holscher and slowly, but consistently the product range formed a complete scheme of stainless steel designs. Today d line continue to expand their business with focus on emerging customer needs, innovation and design. From the headquarters in Denmark they employ approximately 60 people in 7 countries and market their products in over 40 countries. www.dline.com
