Doors and windows, safety systems and building automation from GEZE for Schadau Castle in Thun
«We develop solutions with a design that integrates harmoniously into a building and precisely fit the customer’s needs», says Managing Director Frank Pahlen. Despite the size of the company, a focus on customers remains one of GEZE’s core competencies. Frank Pahlen explains it this way: «We are involved in projects for longer, thanks to our industry expertise, and we listen well – that helps us create optimal solutions.»
Smart building
GEZE is a complete solution provider that makes buildings smarter and more liveable. 36 identically structured subsidiary companies with over 3,200 employees work to equip the world’s buildings with GEZE technologies. Over 1,200 patents are proof of our innovative capacity, and numerous certificates are evidence of our outstanding quality management.
Energy and cost saving
Our products are long-lasting and contribute to energy-saving construction. Automatic door systems, for instance, reduce loss of heated and cooled air, eliminating the need for energy-consuming air conditioning systems. This focus on sustainability also impacts our production processes, and the quality of our advising is very high, thanks to project consultants who work closely alongside architects. They can get further training in the GEZE Academy. In addition to door closers and window technology, the area of building automation is a new development. «A logical continuation of our technical expertise», says Frank Pahlen.
We develop solutions with a design that integrates harmoniously into a building and precisely fit the customer’s needs. We are involved in projects for longer, thanks to our industry expertise, and we listen well – that helps us create optimal solutions.

GEZE sliding door for Schadau Castle in Thun
As part of a careful renovation of Castle Schadau in Thun, GEZE installed a large sliding door. This integrated very well into the new construction within the existing building, due to its invisible drive. This 7 cm tall drive is the only one of its kind in the world. Castle Schadau reopened to great acclaim in May of 2019 under picture perfect weather, with well over 8,000 visitors in attendance.
An appreciation for employees, now and in the future
In addition to these always innovative solutions, the family atmosphere at the facility in Reiden (LU), where all GEZE products are manufactured on site, creates a solid foundation. The general management is firmly convinced that employees are the key to our success. In the future: The majority of existing buildings in Switzerland are not yet automated, and not even smart. Frank Pahlen is committed, and convinced: «We are going to change that.»
