Southern Europe as our launchpad

A firm believer in Europe’s industrial competitiveness, Sotralu Group unites and creates synergies between Southern Europe’s expertise in the design and manufacture of accessories for aluminium doors and windows, with the aim of strengthening its own position in Europe and pursuing its growth on major export markets (China, India, the Middle East, etc.). Erreti, GNS and Sotralu all share widely recognised expertise in producing accessories for aluminium doors and windows, each has between 40 and 50 years’ experience, and each has a vibrant culture of innovation. The close fit between their ranges and markets makes for commercial and industrial synergies that provide solutions to all the needs of their customers and prospects.
