Achieving more together

Sales concepts

The E/D/E specialist group PRO.ELEMENT was founded in 1999 from the specialist area of building components.
The affiliated distributors are supported with marketing and sales concepts in their respective segments.
The competence groups ELEMENTARES (exhibition), ELEMENTARES Service, Contract and Sun shading & façade were founded for this purpose.

Door elements and the associated technology are increasingly being planned in a single step. Regulations, test specifications and trends such as BIM are driving this development. E/D/E has founded the ELEMENTec specialist group in cooperation with EBH AG to enable specialist distributors to exploit the associated market potential more actively.

The construction equipment ring provides intensive impetus and is accompanied by professional marketing activities.
This achieves bundling effects and creates advantages in purchasing/sales.
