Aluprof: product range and today’s EPD reality

Who Aluprof is and what they sell

Aluprof SA, part of Grupa Kęty, designs complete aluminium systems used across commercial and residential projects. Core families include window and door systems like MB‑79N and MB‑86N, curtain walls such as MB‑SR50N, sliding systems like MB‑SKYLINE Type S, fire‑rated assemblies including MB‑78EI and MB‑86 EI, plus sun‑shading and ventilated façade solutions integrated with their façades. In market terms, that’s multiple product categories with dozens to hundreds of individual SKUs accross regional variants.

For sustainability messaging, Aluprof maintains a dedicated environment page outlining its approach and references to EPDs and recycled‑content alloys. See “The Environment” on their site for a quick overview: aluprof.com/us/company/sustainable-development/the-environment.

EPD coverage at a glance

Aluprof publicly announced Type III EPDs for profiles and later for window, door and façade systems in 2018–2019 through Poland’s Building Research Institute program. Type III EPDs issued by leading European operators are normally valid for five years, after which they require renewal to remain current for marketing and specification use (EPD International FAQ, 2025) (EPD International FAQ, 2025). If these declarations were not renewed, they would have reached end of validity around 2024 under standard rules.

We did not find freshly published, product‑specific EPD PDFs for core systems like MB‑86N, MB‑79N or MB‑SR50N on major public operator registries as of December 2025. That points to low current coverage, or at minimum lapsed documents pending update. If new EPDs exist but are not posted publicly, sales teams still face the same roadblock on projects that require verified, searchable declarations.

What looks covered vs. the gaps

Historically referenced EPDs were framed around aluminium profiles and broad system families. Today the visible gap is at the product‑specific level for flagship lines. High‑runner SKUs, such as MB‑86N windows and doors and MB‑SR50N curtain walls, would benefit most from current EN 15804+A2 EPDs that match how specifiers search and score materials.

Why this matters: many owners and GCs now default to databases and operator portals during submittals. When a system lacks a current, third‑party verified EPD, project teams often must use conservative generic factors that penalize the submittal, which makes a rival with a clear EPD an easier yes. That is especially true as LEED v5 proposals tighten carbon accounting language.

Competitive reality on projects

Direct competitors frequently appearing on the same envelopes include Schüco, Reynaers Aluminium, and WICONA. Each promotes product‑specific EPDs for common façade and fenestration systems. Example entries are visible in operator or national registries, such as Schüco AWS and FWS systems published in the Austrian BAU‑EPD program with validity to 2030 in several cases (BAU EPD, 2025) (BAU EPD, 2025). Reynaers also provides an EPD filter in its product download center, making documents easy for specifiers to pull during submittals (Reynaers download center, 2025).

A lose‑the‑spec moment to avoid

Picture a healthcare project pursuing tight operational and embodied‑carbon targets. The curtain wall package narrows to two options. One is MB‑SR50N. The other is a comparable unitized façade configured around a Schüco FWS family with a current EN 15804+A2 EPD on a public registry. If the Aluprof package lacks a current product‑specific EPD, the bid team spends cycles explaining methodology while the competitor simply attaches a PDF and moves forward. That friction alone can be enough to tip a scoring matrix.

What to do next if you own the line

Start with the highest‑volume SKUs in windows and doors, then façade systems used most often in offices, education and healthcare. Select the c‑PCR that fits the application, for example curtain walling under PCR 2019:14 version 2.0.1, c‑PCR‑033, to ensure alignment with current EN 15804+A2 expectations (EPD International PCR library, 2025). The heavy lift is data collection. The faster a partner can extract utility, scrap, alloy mix, transport and yield data from operations, the faster you reach verification.

One timing note: IBU has publicly communicated that verification queues can run around six months given current demand, which makes clean, complete inputs the difference between one review cycle and three (IBU, 2025) (IBU, 2025).

Commercial upside when coverage is complete

Teams that hold current EPDs for their top movers report shorter submittal cycles and fewer substitution challenges. Product‑specific EPDs reduce the need for conservative default factors and keep pricing from becoming the only lever on carbon‑sensitive tenders. For most manufacturers, one mid‑size win more than pays back the effort to publish.

Closing thought

Aluprof’s catalogue can win on performance and aesthetics. Matching that breadth with current, product‑specific EPDs for the everyday systems is the simplest way to stay on every shortlist, not just the ones that do not ask for documentation.
