KÖNIG — Window | Glass to the Future | Since 1991

Services

KÖNIG provides engineering and manufacturing support for vehicle window projects in the bus, railway, automotive, special vehicle and cabin sectors.

From early technical consultation to aluminium processing, surface treatment, glass integration and quality control, we help customers turn project requirements into finished window systems.

Support across the full window manufacturing process

A vehicle window project rarely starts with a finished answer. In many cases, the customer has a drawing, a sample, a vehicle body requirement or an idea that still needs to be checked from a manufacturing point of view. The frame, glass, bonding, finish, sealing, drainage and installation method all have to work together before the product can move into production.

KÖNIG supports this process with technical input, in-house manufacturing capabilities and close coordination between the different production stages. Our role is to help customers define what can be made, prepare the product for production and manufacture the finished window system with the right level of control.

1

Engineering & Design Support

From technical idea to manufacturable solution

Many vehicle window projects begin before the final product is fully defined. The customer may have a technical drawing, a sample, an existing part, a new vehicle concept or a specific functional requirement. KÖNIG can support this early phase by reviewing the available information and helping clarify what is technically and commercially realistic.

This support can include:

Technical consultation
Product development support
Drawing and documentation review
Feasibility analysis
Support from concept to production
Input on frame, glass, finish and installation requirements

Why it matters

A vehicle window is not only a part to be ordered. It has to fit the vehicle, meet the technical requirements and be possible to manufacture consistently.

Early technical support helps reduce unclear specifications, avoid avoidable changes later in the process and turn the initial idea into a production-ready solution.

Aluminium Processing

In-house frame manufacturing

KÖNIG manufactures aluminium window frames through several key production steps handled within the company’s own production environment.

This can include:

Cutting
Bending
Welding
Grinding
Deburring
Frame manufacturing

Why it matters

The aluminium frame is one of the most important parts of the finished window system. Its geometry, finish and consistency affect how the window fits, how it is installed and how the final product looks on the vehicle.

Keeping key aluminium processes in-house gives KÖNIG better control over production details, quality checks and coordination between work stages.

This is especially important for custom window projects, where small differences in frame geometry, welding, bending or finishing can affect the final result.

Surface Treatment

Controlled finishes for vehicle window frames

The surface finish of a vehicle window frame has to meet both technical and visual requirements. The right surface treatment helps the frame match the vehicle design and supports the expected durability of the final product.

Depending on the project, KÖNIG can support surface treatment needs such as:

Surface preparation
Powder coating
Anodized finishes
Controlled production workflows
Project-specific colour and finish requirements

Why it matters

Surface treatment is not just an aesthetic step. It affects the consistency, appearance and long-term quality of the window structure.

Integrated production coordination helps reduce unnecessary handovers and keeps the process more controlled from frame preparation to finished window assembly.

4

Glass Integration

Glass and frame solutions developed together

KÖNIG supports customers not only with aluminium frame manufacturing and complete window systems, but also with vehicle glass and glazing-related requirements. This allows the glass, frame, bonding, sealing and installation concept to be considered together from a technical and production perspective.

This can include:

Vehicle glass manufacturing
Bonded window structures
Glass and frame assembly
Complete vehicle window manufacturing
Project-specific glass requirements
Support with flat or curved glass concepts

Why it matters

When the glass and frame side of a project are handled separately, technical or scheduling issues can appear later in the process. By keeping these areas closely connected, KÖNIG can support a smoother development and manufacturing process, from the first technical discussion to the finished window or glazing solution.

5

Quality Control

Quality checked throughout production

KÖNIG’s quality approach is built into the production process. Many steps in vehicle window manufacturing still require manual work, visual inspection and careful handling. This is especially important for details that automated processes cannot always check with the same practical judgement.

Quality control can include:

Multi-stage inspection
Manual quality checks
Early defect detection
Production-stage quality control
Certified production standards
Final checks before delivery

Why it matters

Quality is easier to protect when problems are identified early. Checking the product throughout production helps reduce scrap, avoid adding further work to a faulty part and support the consistent quality expected in OEM and transport industry projects.

6

Spare Parts & Small-Series Production

Support beyond large serial orders

Not every project is a high-volume serial production order. Customers may need a replacement window, a smaller quantity, a discontinued part or a product based on an old drawing, existing sample or vehicle still in operation. Larger suppliers are often not flexible in these cases, especially when the quantity is limited.

KÖNIG can review small-series and spare part needs such as:

Replacement part manufacturing
Production from samples or drawings
Support for smaller order quantities
Reverse engineering support
Discontinued or hard-to-source window parts
Replacement windows for existing vehicle platforms

Why it matters

For transport operators and vehicle manufacturers, a missing window part can become more than a procurement issue. It can affect vehicle availability, maintenance planning and customer commitments.

Flexible spare part and small-series support helps customers find a manufacturing route when standard supply options are no longer available.

7

Maintenance & On-site Service

Support after delivery

KÖNIG also supports customers with maintenance-related work for vehicle window systems. When needed, our team can travel to the customer’s site and carry out maintenance tasks directly on location. This can help reduce unnecessary transport, shorten downtime and support vehicles that are already in operation.

Maintenance support can include:

On-site inspection
Seal replacement
Rubber and brush seal maintenance
Adjustment of opening functions
Window system checks
Replacement of worn components
Support for existing vehicle fleets
Technical assessment of damaged or aging window systems

Why it matters

Vehicle windows are exposed to daily use, weather, vibration and cleaning processes. Over time, seals, brushes and moving parts may need inspection or replacement.

On-site maintenance support helps customers keep existing window systems in working condition without always removing the vehicle or component from service.

How We Work

Every project is different, but a typical cooperation can include:

1

Initial request

You send a drawing, sample, photo, specification or project brief.

2

Technical review

KÖNIG reviews the available information and identifies what needs to be clarified.

3

Feasibility and preparation

The team checks the frame, glass, finish, function, installation and production requirements.

4

Quotation

Once the relevant details are clear, KÖNIG prepares the commercial offer.

5

Production preparation

Materials, tools, drawings, documentation and internal processes are prepared.

6

Manufacturing and quality control

The product moves through the required production steps with quality checks along the way.

7

Delivery

The finished window system is prepared for delivery according to the agreed project requirements.
