Founded in Alsace in 1980 by Johannes Tryba, the French group ATRYA designs, manufactures and sells windows, doors and rolling shutters, as well as a range of accessories and windows.

The ATRYA Group is one of the five leading European companies in the manufacture and distribution of PVC, wood and aluminium joinery. It has the leading French distribution network in this sector.

From 20 windows per day in its infancy, ATRYA now makes more than 3,500 per day. Represented in 20 European countries, it has more than 215 advice centres in France and 200 partners in the rest of Europe.

The Group employs 1,630 people in Europe including approximately 600 at the Gundershoffen site (in the French Lower Rhine) where the head office is situated.
ATRYA has sixteen production sites in Europe. In 2009, the Group achieved a consolidated turnover of EUR 320 million.

From the outset, in order to reduce its exposure to risk, the Group has diversified in the direction of business sectors displaying strong synergies in terms of purchasing and/ or distribution networks. By extending its traditional trade in `windows’, into the fields of shutters, garage doors, and other closure elements, the Group has enjoyed rapid growth.

Since 2004, the Group has also been committed to developing the use of new energy sources. This division, which is enjoying growing success, markets renewable energy heating systems (solar thermal and photovoltaic, pellet boilers, condensing gas boilers, heat pumps, and so on.)

In total, over the last eight years, turnover has enjoyed an average annual growth rate of 15%, under conditions of profitability and quality.

At the end of 2009, Group ATRYA took a 50% stake in the Belgian Group, BELISOL. Leader in its market, BELISOL delivers approximately 650 windows and doors per day thanks to its network of 70 advice centres. In 2009, BELISOL achieved a turnover of EUR 92 million and employed 700 staff.
