Cero, please come to Terminal 1!

The Gensler architectural firm is the largest architectural firm in the world in terms of turnover and number of employees, specialising in mega-projects such as corporate headquarters, skyscrapers and airports. Gensler is not only known for its exterior design, but also for its well-thought-out interior design. Design, functionality and quality are characteristics that also play a major role in the Solarlux world, so it is hardly surprising that Gensler and our American partner NanaWall have already realised various construction projects together.

This is how it came about:
In the area of security checks, the US Transportation Security Administration required glass systems to separate the so-called C-gates in the airport security area in order to stop alarms and enable visual checks. At the same time, escape routes, general observability and quick access must be guaranteed. The convincing test results of cero and the range of construction projects that Gensler has already implemented in collaboration with NanaWall convinced the strict security authority.


Our systems
Three large systems, each with six panels, and two smaller systems, each with three panels, will be part of the security zone in future, safely guiding thousands of passengers to other parts of the airport every day. We can all be a little proud!
