Meet heroal

A family-owned business for more than 150 years

Johann Henkenjohann was the third-generation owner of a wooden shoe shop founded in 1874 when, after the end of World War II, the destroyed cities were undergoing construction. Recognizing the need for flexible, space-saving window coverings that were virtually invisible from the outside, he turned his attention to the production of roller shutters in 1950.

The invention of the first foam-filled aluminum roller shutter slat in 1969 revolutionized the roller shutter market. The name heroal (Henkenjohann rollforms aluminium) was coined as part of this new production process. The birth of heroal. From that point on, heroal developed into a technology leader in aluminium processing for roller shutters, sun protection, and roller doors, as well as windows, doors, and curtain walls.

These system solutions combine the best material properties of aluminium and aluminium composites with economy in installation and high-quality design—sustainable and flexible. Together, heroal solutions make it easier to save energy, improve construction security, and make a valuable contribution to the sustainability of buildings. This applies to industrial, commercial, and residential applications.

Sustainability
Responsibility for Tomorrow

Sustainable construction requires durable products, efficient processes, and the responsible use of resources. That is why heroal is committed to establishing a connection between economic efficiency and social responsibility.

Our system solutions made from recycled aluminium contribute to sustainable building shells through their durability, energy-efficiency, and recyclability. At the same time, we are constantly working to improve our processes, materials, and services. Our goal is to work with our partners to create solutions that are effective today and will stand the test of time tomorrow.

Quality
Stability and precision in every system

At heroal, quality is not just a product attribute, but the foundation for security in processes during planning, manufacturing, and installation. With a high degree of vertical integration, modern production processes, and years of system expertise, we create solutions that our partners can rely on in their day-to-day work.

Our aluminium systems are synonymous with durability, stability, and precision craftsmanship. Thanks to our in-house powder coating facility, heroal meets the highest quality standards and is certified by both Qualicoat and GSB. The result is surfaces that are visually appealing and provide long-lasting, reliable performance.

At the same time, we place great importance on ensuring that our systems can be manufactured and installed efficiently. After all, effective system solutions must not only look good on the building but also be well-designed for everyday use.

In this way, heroal helps its partners achieve high-quality results reliably, sustainably, and with economic efficiency.

Design
Custom solutions for modern architecture

Every construction project has different requirements—in terms of function, design, energy-efficiency, workmanship, and economy. That is why heroal develops systems that can be flexibly combined, customized, and seamlessly integrated into the building shell.

Whether residential or commercial construction, new construction or renovation: Our solutions are dimensioned to harmonize technical requirements with architectural design. This includes coordinated system components as well as high-quality surfaces, a wide range of colors, and project-specific custom solutions.

For our partners, this means greater design flexibility, security in system compatibility, and the ability to cost-effectively meet individual customer needs.
