A significant milestone in the company’s history came in 1969 when Johann Henkenjohann, grandson of the founder, introduced the roll-formed, foam-filled aluminium roller shutter slat. This innovation set new industry standards and influenced heroal’s future product development. Over the decades, the company expanded its portfolio to include window and door systems, curtain walls and, more recently, sun protection solutions.
