Today, with over 3,500 employees and an annual turnover of more than 700 million euros, the Novoferm Group is one of the leading suppliers of door systems, door solutions and docking systems in Europe. In March 2025, Novoferm celebrated its 70th anniversary.


The company – then known as Isselwerk Werth GmbH – was founded in Lower Rhine on 10 March 1955. Growth occurred through technological development and strategic acquisitions. In addition to Schievano srl (1996), Alpha Deuren (Netherlands, 2014), Norsud (France, 2016), Robust AB (Sweden, 2019) and Manugestion (France, 2021) are worth mentioning. The opening of the Dortmund technical centre in 2016 strengthened training and the presentation of new products.

In addition, it focuses on customized digital tools for industry professionals, improving efficiency, safety and operational processes.

OUR EFFORT FOR SUSTAINABILITY

As of this year, a 1 MW peak power photovoltaic system, fully installed on the roof of our industrial building, is fully operational. This new infrastructure represents an important step toward sustainability and a concrete commitment to reducing our environmental impact.


The system is capable of generating an annual amount of electricity that is essentially equivalent to our energy needs, thus making a tangible contribution to reducing the environmental impact of our production activities.

Thanks to this renewable energy production, we estimate an annual saving of approximately 250 tons of CO₂(*), avoiding greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional fossil fuel-based energy supply.


(*) The CO₂ savings estimate is based on data from the 2023 Italian national energy mix, in which each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity consumed corresponded to an average emission of 0.256 kg of carbon dioxide.
