We understand the processes involved in modern window production
In window, door and facade construction, the warehouse is not merely a place for storing materials. It is an active part of the production process. Profiles must be available at the right time, in the correct order and ready for the next stage of processing.
Many companies still operate with legacy warehouse structures, manual order picking or inefficient transport routes. This takes up space, ties up staff and increases the risk of search times, picking errors or interruptions in the material flow.
KASTOfenestra addresses precisely these issues: the tangible benefits for your production, automated warehouse systems and workstation solutions for individual process steps.
Experience leads to the right automation
KASTO understands these requirements from real-world experience. For around 20 years, we have been developing solutions for profile handling in your industry – from storage and order picking through to the reliable delivery of materials to the right location, specifically tailored to the processes involved in window, door and facade construction. The result is modular solutions for automated, space-saving and reliable profile handling. KASTOfenestra helps businesses to store profile material more efficiently, manage it more transparently, move it more ergonomically and integrate it reliably into existing production processes.

How KASTOfenestra works
KASTOfenestra comprises storage and workstation solutions that can be combined depending on the production layout and process requirements.
Essentially, the aim is not merely to store profile material, but to guide it in a controlled manner through the production process: profiles are stored, retrieved as required, picked for orders, sorted or made available at machining stations. This creates a traceable flow of material from the warehouse through to further processing.
Space-saving storage and rapid deployment
The UNICOMPACT and UNIGRIP honeycomb storage systems are ideal for automated warehousing processes involving a wide variety of items. They enable high storage density, short access times and improved stock control – making them ideal when large numbers of profiles need to be stored in an organised manner and picked reliably.
Simple organisation for smaller storage volumes
For smaller storage volumes and low to medium throughput rates, UNIBLOC offers a simple yet effective solution. The stacking yoke system is suitable for long goods, sheet metal and other bulky goods where easy access, a small footprint and straightforward operation are the main priorities.
Station-based solutions for your material flow
KASTOfenestra’s station solutions support individual process steps in profile handling – from storage and retrieval, through order picking, to sorting and ergonomic delivery. Each station performs a specific task in the material flow and can be deployed to suit the production process.
The most suitable solution depends on your profiles, processing steps, space constraints and transport routes. KASTO draws on its experience from numerous projects during the planning stage and uses this to develop a solution that meets your individual requirements and fits in with your existing processes.
Storing profiles efficiently
KASTOfenestra align
A station for loading profiles; this constitutes the first step in the process. Thanks to the integrated loading aid, the material is always placed securely and precisely into the storage cassettes.
Easy picking of profiles
KASTOfenestra commission easy
Picking station for profile material, where orders are to be organised systematically and prepared for the next processing stages.
Provide operator profiles
KASTOfenestra commission pro
A picking solution in which the required profiles are delivered directly to the operator. This reduces walking distances and promotes more ergonomic workflows.
Supplying material to the Thermal-Break-Machine
KASTOfenestra thermoconnect
A station for supplying materials to the Thermal-Break-Machine. It ensures a reliable supply of profile material throughout the production process.
Sort profiles automatically
KASTOfenestra profilesort
A solution for automatic profile sorting. It helps to organise profiles according to specific orders or processes.
Feeding material ergonomically
KASTOfenestra lift
Lifting station for feeding materials across multiple levels. It supports ergonomic workflows and integration with processing stations.
Rotating cassettes in a targeted manner
KASTOfenestra turn
A rotary station for turning cassettes containing profiled material. It ensures that the cassettes are correctly aligned within the material flow.
Transporting profiles flexibly
KASTOfenestra trolley
Transport trolleys for cassettes weighing up to 1.5 tonnes – suitable for flexible use between the warehouse, buffer area and processing machine.
KASTOfenestra Profile handling in practice
Companies in the windows, doors and facades sector rely on KASTOfenestra to store and pick profile material more efficiently and to integrate it into their manufacturing processes. Whether aluminium profiles, PVC profiles or complex applications in facade construction: KASTOfenestra is designed for sectors where product variety, space utilisation and process reliability are crucial.
