development At Sapa Building System we understand the importance of intelligent and sustainable solutions in the face of the enormous challenges for the entire world. Be it in bustling cities, or in rural areas, people always look for similar things: security, individuality, comfort, convenience and - increasingly - sustainability. Sapa Building System - as a specialist in building envelopes - is continuously working on new solutions to create harmonious environments for building occupants in all applications: work, leisure, home, care. We continuously search for new systems and innovative applications to capture peoples imagination and realise the dreams of architects. We are constantly developing to improve the performance of our products: thermal insulation, safety and Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and actively striving to play our part in the quest for consistent zero energy buildings.

MATERIAL Environmental issues are, quite rightly, at the forefront of thinking across the building industry. Sapa Buiding System is actively working on responsible and ethical sourcing of raw materials and manufactured products, designing for de-construction, minimising in-process waste and maximising reuse of building products at the end-of-life stage. As well as being sustainable, aluminium is inherently strong, this allows the building designer freedom of expression and the creative room to design buildings for all of our futures.

GLOCAL Sapa Building System is a personal and local partner but with a global reach, drawing on knowledge shared between businesses all over the world. We are committed to building long lasting relationships with our clients whilst remaining faithful to our values of technology and design. From design and technical studies to material supply and distribution, we control our process securing an efficient and integrated supply chain for every project.
