ounded in 1996 and headquartered in Belarus, the ALUTECH Group includes five manufacturing companies (three in Belarus, two in Russia and one in Ukraine), over 20 sales offices and a manufacturing/logistics office in the Czech Republic (Alutech Systems s.r.o). The latter Mr Zhukov refers to as a “so-called ‘linking bridge’ between Western markets and ALUTECH. Continuous replenishment of the inventory provides the shortest lead times from the Czech Republic to all EU countries.” The ALUTECH Group’s profiles, sectional doors and roller shutter systems are supplied mainly to the metalworking and construction sectors.

As has been touched upon above, this includes roller shutter systems, sectional doors and accessories and aluminium profile systems (such as facades, windows, doors and partitions).
