SIEGENIA celebrates the 150-year existence of KFV at FENSTERBAU

Room comfort and the 150th anniversary of KFV were the focus of the SIEGENIA GROUP's trade fair presence at FENSTERBAU 2018. The manufacturer of window, door and comfort systems exhibited new solutions that bring spaces to life, and give people a sense of well-being, on an area of 1,000 square metres. The exhibition stand concept also fulfilled this fundamental concept due to its comfort-based design. Visitors to the stand experienced room comfort in practice in the special "Smart Living" area. Here they found out how this future topic could be positioned for end users.

New product highlight for the 150-year anniversary

The extensive KFV stand area also commemorated the 150th anniversary of the leading manufacturer of locking technology. KFV underlined its innovative capability with a pioneering new feature: The KFV ONE modular system makes door production and assembly considerably more efficient than ever and it also permits fabricators to present themselves in sales negotiations as competent partners with high-quality solutions.

A great atmosphere prevailed on Thursday at the grand trade fair party that officially launched the jubilee year of KFV. An entertaining party awaited the guests in the course of a casual event with a flying dinner. Wieland Frank, Managing Director of the SIEGENIA GROUP, and Guy Muller, Chief Sales Officer, greeted the attendees and invited them to an evening with lively, entertaining show acts and live music with a DJ. The spotlight was aimed at the KFV ONE modular system, the newest product highlight, and was marked by various hands-on activities. Further measures, such as a celebration for the staff, will follow in the course of the year.

From a family company to the leading manufacturer of locking systems

KFV has been writing success stories for 150 years now with its innovative door locking technology. What is now an integral part of the SIEGENIA GROUP started in 1868, when the company founder, Karl Fliether, opened a locksmith's forge in Velbert at the age of 16. KFV has established a good reputation as a family company throughout four generations. KFV has been part of the SIEGENIA GROUP since 2006. The corporate group rounded off its portfolio with the takeover. With outstanding new developments, KFV is one of the leading lock manufacturers in Europe today.
