Technoform academies
Sharing knowledge. Advancing together.
Striving to excel, we are constantly aiming at unrivalled customer and market understanding, holistic know-how and technical expertise. We believe that excellence starts with curiosity – and grows through learning. That’s why we continuously seek deep customer insights, cross-functional knowledge, and meaningful exchange with our partners and colleagues. Look at how we’re bringing this to life across the globe: in Singapore, China, and Germany.
Learning journey Singapore
Our Singapore site is more than just a manufacturing facility – it is a hub for industry learning and innovation. As a leader in high performance windows, doors and facade solutions, we believe in sharing expertise among key stakeholders, including architects, developers, consultants, window, door-, facade- and glass fabricators.
Each journey includes a technical deep dive in our visitor gallery, covering industry trends, regulations, and energy efficient best practices. Participants also explore how our precision engineered plastics and proprietary extrusion technology power solutions across industries.
Additionally, a tour of our two testing labs offers firsthand insights into our rigorous quality assurance processes – and shows how choosing the right warm edge spacer boosts thermal performance and durability. With these learning journeys, we equip professionals with the knowledge to shape smarter, more sustainable buildings.

Exploring new business fields
How do new ideas become future business? Two colleagues from our holding gave insights into their approach to new business development.
From trend scouting to identifying opportunity areas – the goal is to understand market needs and translate them into research topics that fit the Technoform’s core strengths. Once a promising idea is found, it’s tested for technical and economic feasibility and turned into a concrete development project. Around 30 participants got exciting behind-the-scenes insights into how innovation happens at Technoform.
How can artificial intelligence support our daily work?
In a full-day workshop, 27 colleagues from all Kassel sites explored the potential of Microsoft Copilot. The hands-on sessions provided not only a solid understanding of how AI works, but also practical skills for everyday use. A follow-up session is already planned – to share real world experiences and take the next step together.
