THE FAMILY BUSINESS TIMM FENSTERBAU – “MADE IN BERLIN”

Hans Timm founded the company in 1957. After more than 60 years and already in its third generation, TIMM is now one of Berlin’s “long-established” family businesses, which has developed from a joinery into a medium-sized company with more than 150 employees.

Today, TIMM is one of the leading German window manufacturers, developing customized solution concepts for economical, energy-efficient and material-compatible window and façade constructions. The once traditional workbench has given way to ultra-modern, CNC-controlled machines that can manufacture any conceivable product with the utmost precision.

Hans Timm’s specialist knowledge, craftsmanship, but above all his curiosity, determination and commitment are the basis of the success story “TIMM Fensterbau – made in Berlin”, which now spans more than 60 years.

High-quality timber, timber-aluminum, aluminum, steel and security windows as well as exclusive façade elements are now manufactured at three locations in Berlin-Marienfelde on a production area of 14,400 m².

Hans Timm Fensterbau has always successfully met the constantly increasing demands in window and façade construction. In recent years, the refurbishment of historic window constructions has been added as a further business area – funded as a research project in cooperation with the Berlin Senate and the European Union.

In close cooperation with architects and clients TIMM develops individual special constructions that have led to our excellent reputation, even beyond Berlin’s city limits, but above all characterize the cityscape in Berlin.

The two sons Detlef Timm and Bernd Timm and the grandsons Bastian Timm and Jonas Wilde have been successfully continuing the life’s work of the senior boss for years.

For three generations and more than 60 years, TIMM Fensterbau has stood for the highest quality and lasting values.

MANAGEMENT OF HANS TIMM FENSTERBAU

Detlef Timm

“We live 24 hours for windows.”

Bastian Timm

“As the third generation, looking back on over 60 years of company history, you feel a special responsibility. You want to maintain and preserve what is there. But the real task as a successor is to look ahead and think ahead.”

Jonas Wilde

“We want to use digitalization to complement the expertise of our employees to continuously improve quality from consultation to installation.”

Bernd Timm

“What our customers appreciate about us is that we are reliable and supply windows of the highest quality.”

THE SUCCESS STORY OF HANS TIMM FENSTERBAU

2024

Getting started with modular construction – TIMM module

With our new, innovative TIMM design window and façade module, Hans Timm Fensterbau is entering the modular window and façade construction market. The TIMM module perfectly integrates windows, sun protection, insect screens, fall protection, window sill/rigid gutter and ventilation in one module. It is available as a 2-stage installation (window + module) or completely as a 1-stage installation process (complete module).

2023

SCHÜCO AWS 75 Steel Look, designed by Timm

With its unique special profiles, the completely new aluminum construction for listed buildings enables the precise reproduction of historic steel windows in aluminum, and is extremely efficient to manufacture.

2023

Completion of the new wood-aluminum window system with low carbon

After more than 1.5 years of intensive development work, we are launching a completely new generation of wood-aluminum windows with a modular design. It sets new standards in energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, sustainability and resilience to climate extremes. It is also the first window system in the world to be produced with low carbon aluminum materials and thus achieve a particularly lowCO2 footprint.

2022

Johanna Timm

After a successful degree in industrial engineering and ten years in management positions in the field of renewable energies, Johanna Timm joins our family business. She takes over the management of the service and retreading division and contributes her extensive expertise to all sustainability initiatives.

2020

New paint system for plant 3

By investing in a robot-assisted painting system, Timm is underlining its innovative strength and sustainability. We completely rebuilt our paint system over Christmas 2020 with “open-heart surgery”. The new paint system represents the last major milestone in the 10-year modernization plan for our woodworking plant. The system features two state-of-the-art painting robots with 3D recognition, an automatic flooding system, halogen dryers and the latest conveyor technology. The new paint system will result in considerable savings in water, paint, CO2 emissions and grey energy for our customers and the new process quality will further improve our quality level.

From the very beginning, Timm has stood for uncompromising quality, for passion when it comes to elaborate details and special object solutions, and for values such as reliability, responsibility and cohesion. The 2. and The 3rd generation will preserve the legacy and think ahead.

2019

Security window

Through a comprehensive certification program, Timm is expanding its test certificates in the area of timber and timber-aluminium high-security windows and thus has a product range for the protection of buildings that is unique in Europe.

With the extended certifications, there are no longer any restrictions on the design types for end users.

Due to the increasing demand for aluminium and steel products from our company, we are expanding and modernizing our production through several investments.
