Konatec GmbH, based in Spittal an der Drau, Austria, is an innovation leader in substructure systems for ventilated façades. Its core product, the Thermo-A1 bracket, is a patented solution that drastically reduces thermal bridges, shortens installation times, and meets the highest fire safety standards. Using a novel, non-combustible composite, the Thermo-A1 bracket lowers façade energy consumption by up to 30 %, resulting in significant heating cost savings and a reduced CO₂ footprint. Its statically optimized design allows far fewer brackets per square metre, cutting material use, speeding up construction, and lowering overall project costs. The system’s modular construction accommodates both vertical and horizontal profiles and adapts to various substrates. It is compatible with a wide range of façade claddings, from glass fibre concrete and fibre cement to aluminium composite panels. Konatec works closely with façade specialists, planners, and architects to deliver customised, high-performance solutions. The founding team brings decades of experience in sales, engineering, and sustainable construction. All development and manufacturing take place in Austria, supported by just-in-time processes that keep storage costs minimal. Konatec’s mission is to deliver sustainable, safe, and cost-efficient façade systems that make a measurable contribution to climate targets. With a focus on Europe– Konatec is set to redefine energy efficiency in construction.
