In the early nineties, architectural window systems were in their infancy with greater glazing technologies emerging to create window systems with an innovative, functional and stylish look. The Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) was introduced to enable windows to be rated and labelled for their annual energy impact on a whole house in any climate of Australia. As a result, the team of fabricators and designers at Wintec Systems saw an opportunity to create new energy efficient products and technologies with excellent structural and weather performance. These products are tested in their own NATA accredited testing laboratory ensuring all products comply with the Australian Standard (AS) 2047 and the Building Code of Australia. Wintec Systems design, develop, test and distribute leading window and door systems. Australian owned and established over 24 years ago, Wintec Systems is dedicated to helping fabricators find practical and reliable solutions for glazing challenges. “Wintec Systems is focused on delivering and developing high-quality glazing technologies that are built to last well into the future,” explains Justin Murray, Product Development at Wintec Systems. “We design, test and distribute a range of leading window and door systems which consist of sliding windows, sliding doors, awning and casement windows, double hung windows, and louvres as well as sliding multi track doors, hinge doors, commercial framing. The latest system is the bi-folding door suite for residential and commercial sectors to suit all areas in Australia.” Wintec Systems are focused on continuous improvement and are proud to be NATA accredited. “Our decision to work towards AS 2047 and NZS 4211 accreditation demonstrates our commitment to providing high quality and consistent solutions for our customers along with our ongoing investment in technology, development and processes and procedures,” says Justin. “This internationally recognised Standard ensures our services and solutions meet the needs of customers through an effective laboratory management system.” Customer satisfaction is at the heart of what Wintec Systems do – providing customers with assurance that the company they are working with has proven performance and a consistent approach. “Our performance is not just a concept, but a reality. Our policies and procedures document it, and our people show it in how they work and the products we provide,” explains Justin. “It promotes continual improvement and ensures that our testing processes are constantly being reviewed and refined to ensure effectiveness and efficiency. This permeates to all levels of the business and boosts staff responsibility and commitment to these processes and values through regular audits.” Ullrich Aluminium, a family owned business for over 60 years who owns and manages Wintec Systems, guiding the business to become leaders in glazing solutions. Ullrich Aluminium employs over 700 people throughout 43 branches across Australia and New Zealand, and exports products to 23 South Pacific Island nations. Ullrich owns its distribution networks and manufacturing plants. “Our channels to market give us the ability to service high end complex architects and fabricators through

to the ‘home handy man’ small scale home renovators,” says Justin. “There isn’t another distributor in the country that can provide manufacturers with the same level of reach that Ullrich Aluminium can offer.” One of Ullrich’s greatest developments is the extrusion plant built in the Hunter Economic Zone near Newcastle. This plant is equipped with a 2,500 tonne eight inch extrusion press capable of supplying their extensive nationwide fabricator network with small, medium and large profiles up to 15.4 metres in length and 10 kg per metre in weight. The extrusion is produced in compliance with the working tolerances of AS/NZS 1866. ‘Quality, service and integrity’ is the guiding philosophy at Ullrich Aluminium. The philosophy and values are supported by a group-wide commitment to be an authentic and trustworthy partner to everyone they encounter. The team at Ullrich and the businesses in the Architectural Building Products family demonstrates their philosophy, values and authentic partnership in their day-to-day business operations. It’s this powerful combination of philosophy, connection and values that has driven Ullrich’s success to date and will continue to move the group forward confidently in the direction of their goals for years to come. “At Ullrich, our people are passionate champions of better. Having quality, service and integrity and making it happen for our customers is more than just a brand promise – it’s our way of life,” explains Justin. “We believe that our success is driven by our people who lie at the heart of everything we do.” “By joining our fabricator network, you will have the opportunity to work with us and our many businesses, distribution centres, centralised operations and support teams helping us to deliver better experiences to our architects, builders, and customers,” says Justin. Whatever your extrusion needs, Ullrich Aluminium treats your journey as their own and extrudes what you need to get you there.
