Innovative power and know-how.

The Gretsch-Unitas Group of Companies

Development and production

Ground-breaking innovations are inseparably connected with the history and present times of the Gretsch-Unitas group of companies. After all, intensive research and development work has always been given a particularly high priority. A lively exchange of experiences between the development departments of the individual companies ensures the constant growth in profitable know-how.

Even before the design of the product itself, the development process starts in the research of principles.

Our engineers test new kinds of materials and new techniques with respect to further product optimisation.

In so doing, we cooperate closely with universities, research institutes and branch experts.

solutions. Architects, planners, building contractors, window and door manufacturers, value our methods of product development.

Highly qualified specialist personnel implement the results of the research and market-specific knowledge in products and services suited to practice. In so doing, we always try to realise our ideas in a customer-orientated way. A permanent quality control guarantees our business partners maximum security – from the individual parts produced with precision, through to the optimal functioning of complex systems.

In over 40 countries, more than 400 people are employed in the sales and marketing companies of the Gretsch-Unitas group of companies. This decentralised sales structure has many different advantages.

On the one hand, we can recognise the requirements

Here the customer will find, in addition to pure order handling, useful information relating to the articles, right through to an online availability check.

The web-based planning and ordering platform MKS – MasterKeySystem was developed specifically

in the applicable region, and the desires of our local customers, while on the other hand, our presence on location gives us a high level of flexibility. Short distances and a fast, reliable service make technical and cost-optimised solutions possible, perfectly in tune with the needs of the people in their environment.

for master keyed suites. All these systems make order handling simpler and ensure that delivery times are reduced, combined with maximum services for our customers. In addition, we make a web-based service module available, with which detailed and complex tenders are possible.

In addition to sales-promoting measures for the trade, our customer service above all covers internet-based solutions, which help make work easier to an enormous extent in many respects. For example, orders can be dealt with quickly and easily with the customer-orientated ObS – Order by Scanning system, which at the same time makes internal warehouse administration considerably easier. The current order status can be called up via the internet at any time.

The CIS – Customer Information System also offers the same advantage, an information and ordering platform for all sectors of the group of companies.

With the KeyManager, we offer a simple and timesaving administration software for the creation and control of master keyed suites. For window and door manufacturers, our hardware managing programmes and hardware data service offer optimal tools to determine sets of fittings and to produce individual fitting solutions.

This whole range of customer-orientated services, in collaboration with our partners, ensures security, transparency and confidence.

sys er d n li Cy Locking systems from the series are suitable for the planning and administration of master keyed suites for many different access hierarchies, as these permit a mechanical or an electronic operation. With a large number of different individual locking cylinders with individual keys assigned in each case, access authorisation can be controlled individually.
