Construction Industry

What would modern buildings be without aluminium? Windows, doors, and curtain walls without effective thermal insulation, roof and wall systems, handles, fittings, and light scaffolding are hard to imagine without this material. Its advantages are obvious: Aluminium is durable, extremely sturdy, and very low-maintenance. It is very stable despite the low weight, which makes narrow load-bearing structures and light substructures possible. Anodizing and powder coating options provide an unlimited selection of colors.

Outstanding construction requires much more service than simply the delivery of aluminium profiles. The depth of added value including in-house prefabrication as a basis for consistent quality in all manufacturing steps is essential in adhering to the warranty periods demanded by the market for major construction sites. GUTMANN is a market leader in profiles and composite components for curtain wall construction, with many years of experience and outstanding references.

For the construction of the Allianz Arena in Munich, 2,800 diamond-shaped, transparent air cushions were required for an area of approximately 60,000 square feet. The architectural design resulted in 1,400 different diamond-shaped sections. Aluminium was the material of choice here because it ensures optimal tightness for the roof structure despite variations in temperature. GUTMANN GmbH supplied approx. 100 tons of custom fit extrusion profiles as well as full mechanical processing. The sawed, milled, bent, and anodized profiles were used to border the membranes for the roof structure. The profile cross-sections were developed jointly with GUTMANN GmbH all the way up to the ready-to-install product.

Transportation

Aluminium is true all-rounder. With its applications in cars, commercial vehicles, and railway transportation, aluminium is not only interesting from an ecological point of view but also from an economic one. Wherever aluminium is used in means of transportation, its low weight helps reduce the amount of fuel needed. It is also extremely sturdy, corrosion resistant and saltwater-proof, which makes it an ideal material for aircraft construction as well as ship and yacht building.

GUTMANN GmbH supplies aluminium profiles for the bicycle rack winning several awards in fixed lengths to the manufacturer, where they are further processed. The manufacturer sells the bike racks as a private brand directly to the end customer, while other models are sold as original accessories through renowned auto makers.

In Weissenburg, GUTMANN GmbH manufactures aluminium profiles used as frame profiles for cooling devices in track vehicles. The aluminium profiles are especially suitable for this purpose as they conduct heat well. For the welded structure, elaborate CNC-processing is necessary.

Mechanical Engineering / Automation

Aluminium sets standards in mechanical engineering with high precision, modern design, and extreme durability. These complex properties, in combination with great corrosion resistance, can be accurately adapted to individual applications. Progressive tool technology allows users to develop powerful products at economical prices. We produce aluminium profiles with complex CNC machining for use in fully automated storage systems, combining precision and efficiency for demanding industrial applications.

Electrical engineering

Aluminium is used in almost all areas of electrical engineering. The material is used as an electric conductor, for constructive components and as a heat conductor. The low weight of the light metal is another advantage. With the appropriate surface treatment, aluminium can even be used as an insulator.

Aluminium profiles are perfectly suited for the construction of tanning booths. The material looks appealing and can improve the appearance of a surface. The highly decorative profiles produced by GUTMANN GmbH are very elaborate to manufacture. Welding tasks must be performed with the utmost care as even the slightest irregularities become visible in UV light. The entire profiles are CNC-processed and anodized. In addition, the construction of specialty tools is possible in order to meet the very high demands for surface quality.

The light material aluminium forms the basis for countless applications in solar technology. Some examples are curtain wall structures, light and durable stands for fastening solar modules, entire roof structures, or lamella components placed in front of the building envelope. The low-maintenance and corrosion-resistant aluminium is an ideal construction material for substructures for giant solar farms, frame profiles for photovoltaic components or for implementing the increasingly popular “solar architecture”. GUTMANN GmbH delivers the completely processed frame profiles for solar thermal systems.

Additional fields

The FIRST AID BOX made of premium aluminium is easily accessible when needed and protects the contents from soiling, moisture, and high temperatures. The elegant design makes it fit perfectly in any modern environment. GUTMANN GmbH supplies the aluminium profiles – completely sawed, punched, and anodized – for this product.

Aluminium is also a popular material in the food industry because it does not pose a healthy hazard and is completely tasteless. GUTMANN GmbH supplies pipe clamps protected as a utility model in 39 different diameters ranging from 33.7 mm to 154 mm. The pipe clamps connect abutting pipes. In the food industry, these pipes are used to transport flour, sugar, or rice. The extruded aluminium profiles replace the previously used stainless-steel pipe clamps, which were very difficult to manufacture. The advantage of the new generation of pipe clamps is obvious: They are easier to manufacture, last longer, weigh less, and thus represent significant cost savings.
