TRYBA's 2026 European Study Tour Diary: From the Nuremberg Doors and Windows Exhibition to Visiting a Centennial German Factory

Origin: A cross-Eurasian study and exploration journey

In March 2026, the TRYBA team set off as scheduled for the fourth phase of the European study and exploration trip. 。 This trip was both intense and fulfilling. The team not only actively participated in the highly anticipated Nuremberg Door & Window Exhibition (FENSTERBAU FRONTALE 2026), but also, after the exhibition, rushed to visit the German headquarters factories of their core strategic partners - G-U and KNEER. 。 This is a journey of longing for cutting-edge technologies and innovative concepts. It is also an important part of Tonova's implementation of its international strategy and fulfillment of its quality commitment. 。

Direct from Nuremberg: A Global Feast for the Doors and Windows Industry

From March 24th to 27th, the Nuremberg Exhibition Center transformed into the heart of the global doors and windows industry. This exhibition attracted approximately 75,000 professional visitors from 117 countries and over 1,000 exhibitors, focusing on core themes such as energy efficiency, circular economy, and digitalization. 。 The entire industry is undergoing an accelerated transformation from merely "producing products" to "building systems and developing capabilities". 。

At the kind invitation of the TRYBA  Hardware supplier - G-U from Germany, the team made a special trip to their booth for in-depth communication. 。 At this exhibition, Gehou broke away from the traditional way of categorizing and displaying hardware products. Instead, it innovatively used real architectural scenarios such as "single-family houses", "kindergartens", and "senior living facilities" as clues to vividly demonstrate the practical applications of SECURY multi-point lock system and UNI-JET system in terms of anti-theft, fire prevention, and accessibility design. 。 The Geoya booth even set up a miniature production workshop. Through intuitive demonstrations of CNC processing and an experience of the operation of the new generation system, the technical advantages were made concrete and tangible. 。 At the exhibition site, the Tenco team was also personally received by the CEO of Gehu, Michael von Resch, and the management team of the Chinese region. The two sides had in-depth sharing and communication. 。

In addition, the TRYBA team also unexpectedly met several old friends from the industry at the exhibition. 。 At the exhibition stand of German surface treatment expert RENOLIT, the team not only witnessed its latest released "Colour Road 26/27 Colour Trend Report" and the new products of the ultra-matte series, but also had a cordial conversation with Mr. Yang Yongfeng, one of the founders of DeSi Group. 。 Meanwhile, TRYBA 's long-term digital service provider 3E Datentechnik also showcased its latest 3E-LOOK ERP system, providing strong support for the efficient management and digital implementation of window and door manufacturers. 。

Touring KNEER: A Journey into the Heart of German "Door and Window Duke"

After the exhibition, the TRYBA team continued their exploration deep into the heart of Germany. Their first stop was a drive to the KNEER headquarters located in Westheim. 。 As a well-known German door and window manufacturer with a history of over 90 years, Kornel is hailed as "the duke of doors and windows". Its aluminum-wood entrance doors are highly favored by European politicians and business leaders. 。

Led by the head of the export department, Stefan, the TRYBA team learned about the huge production capacity of Cornell, which exceeds 330,000 windows and 7,000 interior doors annually. They also conducted a site visit to the modernized full-process production line from profile processing to finished product assembly. 。 In Cornell's full range of products exhibition hall, from the modern-style aluminum入户 doors to the classic and elegant aluminum-wood composite windows, each product showcases the meticulousness and craftsmanship of German manufacturing. Both parties had a lively on-site exchange regarding product design and technical parameters. 。

Visiting the headquarters of G-U: The warmth and heritage of a century-old hardware giant

After saying goodbye to Cornel, the team headed to the headquarters of G-U, a century-old hardware giant founded in 1907. 。 The factory receptionist Mr. Gündera and the Asia-Pacific sales director Mr. Kosumi warmly received the Tonofo team. 。

During the visit to the precision manufacturing workshop, the team witnessed the meticulous procedures of the German standard process firsthand; and what was most astonishing was their underground laboratory, which is equipped with advanced equipment capable of simulating various extreme environments to conduct rigorous tests on the products, ensuring the highest standards of safety and durability. 。 At the time of parting, the custom-made tools presented by Gero became the best testament to the friendship between the two parties. Now, these handy tools have been sent by the post-sales team of Teno back to Germany and have been delivered to the homes of Chinese users, closely connecting the German craftsmanship with the peace of mind of Chinese users. 。

Focusing on the present and looking to the future: With unwavering dedication, creating Chinese solutions

In just a few days, the Tonofo team gained insights into global technological trends at the exhibition site and witnessed the meticulous manufacturing in Germany at the factory floor. Although the itinerary was full, the gains were substantial. 。 Cornell and Gouyu represent the highest standards of European doors, windows and hardware. And the "TRYBA International" series launched by Tonofu in 2025, which is officially introduced as the "Tonofu International Partner Series", is dedicated to exclusively introducing these globally top-notch products, bringing world-class door and window solutions to Chinese consumers. 。

As Cheng Lining, the head of Tonova, said: "We aim to enable every family in China to have a high-quality door or window. We will make every effort to achieve this."

Adhering to the development vision of "From Local to Global", Tonova will continue to collaborate with the world's top partners, integrating European cutting-edge technologies with local Chinese demands. Let's move forward with abundant achievements and look forward to the next gathering at the Nuremberg exhibition in 2028!
