Renusol, Germany: From supplier to technology partner

Involving Sapa application engineers at an early stage helps Renusol optimise new and existing designs and save money later on in the production process.

Seated in Cologne, Germany, Renusol is a leading provider of mounting systems for solar modules, focusing mainly on the French market. Renusol’s patented solutions allow for fast and easy installation whether on pitched or flat roofs.

Value beyond aluminium profiles

Sapa began its successful cooperation with Renusol in September 2008. Starting out as a supplier of machine parts, Sapa is gradually becoming an important technology partner to Renusol – offering value beyond merely providing aluminium profiles.

Customised packaging solution

Sapa delivers all the necessary ready-to-assemble aluminium profiles and attachment elements in a complete, Ikea-inspired package. This reduces installation times and relieves Renusol technicians of the time-consuming task of collecting the elements themselves for each new installation project.

Knowledge transfer

By offering technical support already at the enquiry stage, Sapa can help improve the design and production processes. The highly appreciated technical support ranges from feasibility analyses of new designs to re-designing existing products for improved efficiency.

Engineering excellence

In a rapidly maturing market, engineering skills are becoming key to achieving cost-efficiency in mounting system projects. While still at an early stage, Sapa’s partnership with Renusol appears as a schoolbook example put into practice.
