Under the helopal and fenorm brands, the company manufactures custom-made window sills, wall copings, washbasins and shower surfaces for indoor and outdoor use.

At the Reichraming site, more than one million linear metres of window sills and around 8,000 washbasins are produced annually and distributed via a sales network in Austria and Germany. The company employs around 120 staff, operates its own departments for mould and model making, design, application technology and quality assurance with a laboratory, and has published voluntary sustainability reports based on the DNK framework since 2023.
