Special lengths, special packaging and delivery directly to construction sites

Case Study: Together with our customer Sky-Frame AG, we developed an individual solution for aluminium profiles - which were required for 2 800 m of all-glass railings - in order to save time, material and space on the construction site.

According to our guiding principle "customised, flexible and fast":

The added value for Sky-Frame in this huge project was to reduce the logistics effort, the assembly effort due to the fitting on the construction site, the resulting waste cuttings as well as the packaging waste due to the otherwise usual packaging.

Our additional services:
  • Customised special lengths of the profiles: This saved the logistics and assembly effort and avoided around 2 tonnes of aluminium waste on the construction site.
  • Flexible packaging units: The aluminium profiles were individually packed in the desired quantities in bulk bundles. These special packaging sizes saved a great quantity of logistical effort on the construction site, as no individual transports by crane between the floors were necessary, and also time, as the sorting of the individual profiles on the work site was no longer necessary. In addition, no space had to be kept free for sorting on the already limited Ground 0.
  • Fast direct delivery: The usual intermediate storage was made unnecessary, because we delivered the required quantity of profiles directly to the construction site in Locarno on the desired date, adapted to the progress of the construction work.

"Thanks to the good partnership, the advice and the flexibility, we were able to achieve a great added value for our customer in this construction project. At the same time, the ways were always very direct, technically high quality and straightforward. That's what we appreciate about our collaboration with Aluminium Laufen AG," says René Scheidegger, Litefront Product Manager at Sky-Frame AG.

The aluminium profiles in special lengths were used for around 2 800 m of all-glass railings for the Parco Lago building project in Locarno. The new residential development comprises four buildings.
