Exporting Windows to Germany — How It Works, Costs, Timelines and What You Need to Know

Thousands of Romanians in Germany order Salamander PVC and Alumil aluminium windows from Romania — German quality, Romanian price. Complete guide: export, transport, installation.

Why Do Romanians in Germany Order Windows from Romania?

The answer is simple: value for money. A Salamander PVC window manufactured in Romania, with the same German profile, the same Saint-Gobain glass, the same Roto or Siegenia hardware, costs 30–50% less than the same window bought directly in Germany or Austria.

Why? Labour costs in Romania are significantly lower, without any compromise on material quality — all imported from Germany, Austria and Greece.

At Neofort BIZ, export to Germany and all of Europe has been part of our regular business for over 10 years.


Who Benefits from Export?

Romanian diaspora in Germany — our most frequent client. Romanians settled in Germany who are buying or renovating a house and want premium quality at better prices. They have family or friends in Romania who can coordinate the order.

Construction contractors in Germany — companies with Romanian staff who buy wholesale for their building sites. Prices far more competitive than local German suppliers.

Holiday home owners — people from Germany, Austria, Italy who have properties in Romania and want to renovate them with quality materials.


The Export Process — Step by Step

Step 1 — Contact and Consultancy

Everything starts with a quote request sent by email or WhatsApp. You need:

We respond within 48 working hours with an indicative quote.
