Crittall Windows has announced a new strategic collaboration with Secco Sistemi, the renowned Italian manufacturer of high-performance steel windows and doors systems. The partnership represents a further commitment by Crittall to expand its product portfolio and maintain its leadership in the premium market segment.
This new relationship will see Crittall working alongside Secco Sistemi and Barclay Mathieson Architectural (BMA), the sole importer of Secco systems into the United Kingdom. Through this collaboration, Crittall will fabricate Secco’s thermally broken steel systems for both the UK and North American markets. The partnership builds on shared values of quality, innovation and technical excellence.
Secco Sistemi, based near Venice, has been a driving force in steel window and door innovation since its founding in 1947 by Aldo Secco. Known for its use of architectural metals such as brass, corten steel, stainless steel and galvanised steel, the company has consistently produced award-winning systems that combine technical performance with refined aesthetics. Its products have been specified in landmark projects across Europe and beyond, including the James Simon Galerie in Berlin by David Chipperfield Architects.
With more than seven decades of experience, Secco has evolved from its industrial origins to become a highly regarded partner to contemporary architects. Crittall will source Secco profiles and accessories through BMA, ensuring full control over specification and supply. The partnership enables Crittall to bring Secco systems to market with the same attention to detail and project-led service that has defined the Essex-based company for 175 years.
Crittall’s decision to invest in this new product line reflects the business’s long-term strategy of growth through innovation. It complements its in-house range by offering new solutions for high-end residential and commercial projects where thermal performance, material quality and design integrity are essential.
Russell Ager, Crittall Windows’ MD, said: “This partnership allows us to offer a broader range of high-performance steel solutions while staying true to the principles that define Crittall: precision, quality and a clear understanding of architectural intent. It reflects our commitment to evolve with our clients’ needs and to bring new, design-led systems to market without compromise.”
Further details about the new Secco ranges available through Crittall will be shared in the coming months. For now, the announcement marks the start of a collaborative venture between three companies with a shared commitment to excellence in steel fenestration.
