Almost a year after the acquisition, Thermix is now produced entirely in Italy and completely integrated into Alu Pro’s operations at its plant in Noale (Veneto), already a global supply hub for high-performance IG unit spacer profiles. The new system is fully operative, thanks to the 12,000 m2 expansion of the Alu Pro production facility.
The production transfer was completed, as planned, at the end of 2019, with installation of the final lines in early 2020. “We immediately achieved the same high product quality as that of the Ensinger plant in Cham, a major accomplishment gained, in part, due to the support received from Ensinger,” remarked Alessandro Fenzi, with a note of satisfaction. “We currently have excellent control of the production cycle and the technology. Thermix is, to all effects, our product and the appreciation our clients have shown is the most immediate demonstration of that,” he continued. “In spite of any possible fears over the change of ownership, we have managed to completely satisfy our clients’ expectations. They were thrilled to see that we had maintained the high-quality standard to which they were accustomed thanks, above all, to our extensive, decades-long knowledge of the industry and our unique specialization in glass,” Fenzi concluded.

The trend remains positive. The fast-paced warm edge market – high-efficiency technology to improve living comfort in buildings and, thus, the quality of life of its residents – is leading the most qualified producers to increase production levels, and that is precisely what Alu Pro has been doing for years. Orders for the new product, already a well-known market favorite, are proof of that. In fact, Thermix Tx Pro is optimally positioned among warm edge profiles in terms of performance, stability and ease of processing. Made with a special technopolymer and stiffened with two heavy-duty stainless-steel wires, the spacer is partially coated with a super-thin stainless-steel foil that provides bonding support for the sealants and acts as a barrier against loss of gases, allowing the entire IG unit to effectively block heat dispersion. These specific features and perfect compatibility with Fenzi sealants for IG units make Thermix Tx Pro a top-quality product that completes the range of warm edge solutions offered by the Glass Alliance network.
