THE INTERNATIONAL APPROACHTo support our continued growth we have over the years expanded our business and are now present in more than 10 countries from Germany to Dubai and into China.

Despite our international orientation and continued growth, we are still a medium-sized family business that combines its traditional values with innovative management. One of our key principles is to rely on long-term trust instead of short-term successes, something that is refl ected in the per-sonal relationships we have with all our suppliers, customers and staff .

This is the fundamental attitude that distinguish us from anonymous corporations!

To service our growing number of international customers and projects we have GBM Solutions, a subsidiary to gb meesenburg OHG. GBM Solutions has its home base in Den-

THE BUSINESSOur sole focus is within the building industry. We have made a conscious choice not to spread our business, but to focus on, develop and improve the core business that we know best.

The gb Meesenburg Group is divided into 3 divisions spe-cializing in:

DOOR AND WINDOW • Hardware, tools, production equipment and consumables

for the door and window production

RETAIL• Power and hand tools, consumables for general contrac-

tors, hardware and bathroom equipment and security (Me-chanical and electronic access control) for the craftsman and private consumer

PROJECT• Doors steel, wood and special function, frames, architech-

tural ironmongery and bathroom equipment for new build projects

WE BELIEVE MORE IN LONG-TERM TRUST THAN SHORT-TERM SUCCESS

mark (Copenhagen) – but works all over the world. The pri-mary function of GBM Solutions is to service our international network of customers fi rst of all with specifi cation services of door, window and bathroom architectural ironmongery. And then source and supply products from our network of sup-pliers in Europe through our distribution center in Germany.

GBM Solutions is managed by a team of people that have many years of experience with specifi cation, procurement and installation of well known European brands, in Europe, Middle East and Asia. They are therefore well equipped to service our customers in their local markets and provide onsite service whenever needed.


STATEMENT FROM THE CEO:“We want to be a partner that is recognized for our ability to - not just specifi c any product - but exactly the product you need. We put great pride in being free from ties to specifi c manufactures, being able to off er a comprehensive range across brands and products - putting together exactly the package you need. In short, if you tell us the project then we can tell you the product needed.”

STATEMENT FROM THE CHAIRMAN: “The need for supplying added value to the parties in the building process have grown signifi cantly over the past few years. With a wide range of manufactures establishing them-selves directly in the market the customers are demanding more independent parties that can add reliable value to the project on a broad spectrum of products. At the same time the need for having a “full service” partner that will take responsibility - not only specifying and delivering the products - but also carry out installation and after service is in high demand. gb meesenburg has been in the business for many years and know exactly what our partners and customers are looking for in a supplier - we care about YOUR business and take pride in delivering beyond what our customers expect from us, which has made us a preferred partner in the industry.”

OUR WORK SEGMENTSFIVE MAIN SEGMENTSIn GBM we operate within 5 main construction segments

HEALTHCAREWithin the healthcare segment, we cover all sub segments from the very large hospital, to pharmacies, to dental clinics and special care units. A healthcare solution could include technical doors, special products with antimicrobial coat-ing, ironmongery suitable for very heavy usage, anti-liga-ture hardware, a special security package that considers the security of multiple access routes and the need to accom-modate permeability for visitors and not least the need for special care products.

HIGH TRAFFICThe characteristics of the high traffic is a constant flow of many people and the main challenge is often to install prod-ucts that can accommodate the constant pressure.In the high traffic area, we always analyze the cycles need-ed for optimal servicing of the installed products. This could include high traffic washroom systems with the most optimal

Health care

combination of modules, easy access, easy maintenance and hygiene as cost and effectiveness always is at the essence.

LEISURE / HOSPITALITYThe Leisure / Hospitality segments covers everything from major hotels, ice skating arenas, major stadiums to public swimming pools. For buildings within the leisure segment, we find solutions that are suitable for wet environments and/or heavy usage. Partition walls that can divide a gym area or room into smaller usable sports courts/areas are frequently part of the leisure segment.

RESIDENTIALPrivately held or a public building faces the same challenges when we speak of housing, as ever higher demands are set to our living standards and the buildings we live in. We understand what it takes to specify a complete villa or condominium from entrance door and frame, to residential and individual ironmongery, personal security in cylinders all the way to the modern bathroom. We also work with companies specializing in custom door solu-

tions for safety, smoke and fire as well as steel/garage doors. Our professional team of installers and project managers has done many villa and residential projects and are therefore ready to assist all the way from specification to installation.

OFFICEOffices contain sensitive information and valuable informa-tion. At the same time, hundreds of people has to be grant-ed access to various areas of the building throughout the day. This put emphasis on the security system and our of-fice solution would include a master key and access control systems Here we, among other things consider special high security areas and exit and escape routes, as they should not compromise the security. Signage and railing systems are often also part of the office segment.For all types of buildings, it is applicable that we tailor a product offering comprising a comprehensive door program that fits the quality required, function and esthetics of the building project. We have skilled suppliers and a technical staff experienced in the specification of exactly your type of building.


OUR PRODUCT GROUPSFor each of our fi ve main work segments we off er four main product groups- Doors, ironmongery, bathroom and integral products.

Within each product group, we have specialized our product off erings in four categories.
