Company information
This is the Japanese subsidiary of "Schüco," a system supplier of windows, doors, and facades headquartered in Germany and operating in 80 countries worldwide. In 2021, it became a joint venture with LIXIL Corporation, providing solutions that combine high-performance European technology with Japanese expertise. The products are designed with a focus on "high thermal insulation performance," "aesthetic appeal," and "sustainability." 【High Thermal Insulation Performance】 Achieves high thermal insulation performance at the passive house level (minimum Uf value of 0.70 W/m²·K, etc.) through "aluminum-resin core insulation" technology. This enhances energy efficiency and contributes to operational carbon reduction. 【Aesthetic Appeal】 Awarded the iF Design Award and others. Achieves a sophisticated design that does not obstruct the view with ultra-large openings of up to 3.5m* and slim frames starting from a sight width of 37mm*. (*Varies by product) 【Sustainability】 Adopts "low-carbon aluminum (PremiAL)," significantly reducing CO2 emissions during manufacturing. Additionally, many products have obtained the fully circular international certification "Cradle to Cradle." We also provide digital tools such as the software "Schuecal," which can calculate CO2 emissions and thermal transmittance, supporting sustainable architecture.
