3/30/2020 / Press release

Country Manager Stéphan Guérin will be in charge of the new insulbar office, part of Ensinger France, in Beynost near Lyon. “From 1 April onwards, all processes will be directly coordinated in France”, says Guérin. “Our staff in Sales and Applications Engineering will provide local support and advice to customers. In this way we can further improve our service.”

“Aluminium is the preferred material for frames particularly where there is a large glazed area”, explains Guérin. “It is stable, lightweight, corrosion-resistant and recyclable. But it still has a high thermal conduction capacity. In order to offer high energy efficiency, the inner and outer shells of the frames must be thermally separated.”

With its very low thermal transmission coefficient, insulbar helps minimise energy losses. As far back as 1977, plastics specialist Ensinger supplied the world’s first mass-produced insulating bar to the system manufacturers. The precision profiles made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide are being continuously developed together with the customers. Nowadays they allow passive house standards to be met, with an U_W below 0.8 W/m²K.

Alongside conventional insulating bars, Ensinger offers innovative products such as insulbar LI (lambda improved), insulbar LO (lambda optimized), insulbar RE from 100% unmixed recycled polyamide and insulbar LEF with a low-E film; there is also its shear-free insulbar profile for minimising the bi-metal effect in doors made from aluminium.

Ensinger GmbH is one of the world’s leading developers and producers of thermal insulating profiles for window, door and facade construction. The profiles marketed under the brand name insulbar create a thermal barrier between the inner and outer shells of metal frames. Insulation solutions using insulbar profiles achieve the best values in terms of energy saving and reduced heating and air conditioning costs, while complying with the most stringent quality standards in every respect. They have been in successful application the world for more than forty years.

The Ensinger Group is engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of compounds, semi-finished materials, composites, technical parts and profiles made of engineering and high-performance plastics. To process the thermoplastic polymers, Ensinger uses a wide range of production techniques, such as extrusion, machining, injection moulding, casting, sintering and pressing. With a total of 2,600 employees at 35 locations, the family-owned enterprise is represented worldwide in all major industrial regions with manufacturing facilities or sales offices. ensingerplastics.com
