“Every BAU is a distinguished gathering of the industry. And the Schüco stand, I believe, is the best platform for domestic and foreign players to exchange ideas and learn.” He added. Wuxi Wangxing started the cooperation with Schüco in 2000. It’s one of Schüco’s first partners in China. So far, the two parties have worked together and completed a number of projects, among which Shanghai High Court and Tobacco Group project were hailed as a landmark. The Tobacco one has won numerous awards in Chinese construction field, such as the Shanghai city construction "Magnolia" award and the most authoritative Chinese construction industry " Luban Prize".

Schüco exhibited many creative and stylish system solutions in Munich using which ideal home, living and working environments can be designed. Developers and architects benefit from maximum freedom and fabricators particularly appreciate the new features for efficient fabrication and installation. The energy efficiency of every product goes without saying. So it is no surprise that the new Schüco FWS 35 PD.SI façade system with a face width of 35 mm and the Schüco AWS 90.SI+ window system were certified as passive house components in Munich.
