Over the last few decades, the brand name of WICONA has developed into a synonym for aluminium profile systems that meet the highest standards. Our high technological standards, rigorous system considerations, and quality processing of our products, as well as comprehensive services and consultation, all make a significant contribution to the success of the WICONA brand. WICONA is part of the Norwegian company Hydro, a fully integrated aluminium company with 35,000 employees in 40 countries on all continents, combining local expertise, worldwide reach and unmatched capabilities in R&D.

Over 70 years’ experience

WICONA was founded in 1948 as a business division of Wieland Werke in Ulm. All activities in the areas of research, development, marketing, sales, and services are coordinated at the headquarters in Ulm over 70 years, and it has grown from what was once a small business into a brand that stands for highly specialized know-how and technical competence in aluminium system solutions.

As a systems company with many years of experience, we supply the market with realistic and achievable concepts for people and the environment. Reconciling user comfort with environmental requirements is what motivates and drives us daily in the development of energy-efficient system solutions for sustainable building envelopes. Numerous WICONA projects around the world have already been awarded internationally recognized certificates for sustainable construction, such as DGNB, LEED, or BREEAM. It was another important step for us to be able to practice our guiding principle of sustainability even more actively.

At WICONA, we are convinced that no limits should be placed on modern building architecture. We implement complex building envelopes with special technical challenges with individual special structures, in a sustainable and future-oriented way. That is our core competence and the basis for our global success. That is what WICONA stands for.
