WHO WE ARE*

URBAN GmbH is an esteemed global player and a reliable partner of the PVC window industry. Machines by Urban play an important part in the value-added chain „window“ and data exchange is materialized via interface with up- and downstream processes.

TECHNOLOGY AND CHANGE

For some time we have been observing that many things are changing in view of the window product – software, technologies, processes, people … all these features are subject to extremely quick changes. We experience considerable changes which are already in reach now – directly at our customers.

We want to be part of this change and are already contributing to it for some time – no matter if a new technology is involved or another window manufacturing procedure or only simply as we are always willing to listen to our customers to deal with them individually = true to our motto „trust right from the start“.

READY FOR IDEAS OF THE FUTURE

How can productivity in window production be increased through the so called technology hub? How does smart manufacture revolutionize the future window production? And how can quality assessment be materialized sustainably although costs are supposed to be minimized at the same time for all processes?

These are only a few of the questions Urban GmbH & Co. Maschinenbau KG and further partners from industry and research are dealing intensively with. On board are also the Kunststoff-Zentrum SKZ (Plastics Center SKZ) Urban is cooperating with for more than 30 years as well as the RAL Gütegemeinschaft für Kunststoff-Fensterprofilsysteme .

For more than 30 years, Urban is a significant partner in the field of industry and development for the indus- try related research at the Würzburg based Kunststoff- Zentrum SKZ (Plastics Center SKZ). Time and again, the machinery manufacturer and leading technology partner Urban participated in publicly subsidized research
projects at the SKZ.

Also a number of direct research work had been commonly concluded by SKZ and Urban such as the project „welding process development for fibre-reinforced PVC window profiles“ (2011 to 2012) or  the project „innovative technologies for welding of mineral-filled and fibreglass reinforced plastics“ (2011 to 2013).
