About JU-Metallwarenfabrik
JU-Metallwarenfabrik GmbH, headquartered in Gerabronn (Baden-Württemberg), is a family-owned manufacturer of mailboxes, letter and parcel box systems, display cases, steles, parcel locker systems and wayfinding/signage products. Founded in 1943, the company produces almost exclusively customized one-off units according to customer and tender requirements, from single-family home solutions to systems for residential complexes and commercial buildings. The value chain extends from sheet metal cutting through bending and hot-dip galvanizing to powder coating, engraving and final assembly; materials used include hot-dip galvanized steel, stainless steel and acrylic glass for flush-mounted, engraved-through house numbers. The portfolio comprises the First Class, Business Class and Economy Class product lines, including flush-mounted, surface-mounted, door-side-panel and wall-through systems as well as free-standing steles with LED lighting and soft-close mail flap. Since 2021, JU has been part of the French Decayeux Group. With the JU-FAST online configurator featuring real-time 3D rendering, systems can be planned in advance. Production takes place in Germany for the domestic and international markets.
