In an effort to anticipate crises, optimally utilize national capital, standardize the construction industries and optimize fuel consumption, Homareshtan Industrial Group (HIG), with over 20 years of experience in producing all kinds of plastic products, attempted to carry out a development plan in 2005 to transfer technical knowledge and UPVC-profile manufacturing machinery for building modern doors and windows. The machinery and equipment in this project have been supplied and installed by world prestigious manufactures namely Krauss Maffei (Germany) and Greiner (Austria). The current capacity of production lines totals 5,000 tons per year, which amounted to 15,000 tons per year under the new development plan deployed in an area of 50,000 square meters.

History of UPVC window and door manufacturing in Iran
The manufacture of UPVC windows and doors started in Europe in 1960s. Owing to multiple benefits of this type of windows, the UPVC doors and windows have become increasingly popular. Diversity in designs and colors, physical strength or resistance to different weather conditions, and recyclable features of PVC windows have tremendously transformed the industry.
uPVC history in Iran
In the late ”50s, the first manufacturing plant was constructed for UPVC windows and doors. Although other manufacturing plants have ever since been constructed, there has been little compliance with modern technology and standards for various reasons. In fact, a great portion of profile in the assembly plants is supplied from foreign sourceses.
