FSB

Franz Schneider Brakel, or simply FSB, stands for aesthetically pleasing and functionally high-quality system solutions for doors and windows around the world. The experience gained over more than 135 years has led not only to premium-quality handles. Architects and building contractors prefer FSB products because the company from Brakel also possesses extensive knowledge of the requirements of modern commercial buildings. Whether it's a classic fitting, the barrier-free ErgoSystem, or electronic access management – everything related to handles and fittings comes from a single source.

FSB has its roots in Iserlohn. In 1881, Franz Schneider founded a company there for producing brass furniture fittings. In 1909, the company headquarters moved from the Sauerland region to East Westphalia. The letter B for Brakel was incorporated into the logo, and the FSB brand was born.

In addition to continuously expanding its design expertise, FSB is dedicated to improving its manufacturing processes: the modernization and optimization of technology and production methods, as well as a focus on materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and bronze, ensure the long-lasting durability of FSB products.

FSB is a pioneer in environmental protection and sustainability, and offers environmental declarations for materials and product ranges in accordance with EN 15804. These environmental standards apply to the entire product portfolio of over 25,000 items. Detailed testing, inspections, and daily use show that FSB products outperform standard requirements.

FSB products have long been a favorite among architects. Increasingly, private customers are also turning to the high-quality products from East Westphalia. To ensure seamless integration of locks and fittings, FSB acquired a Saxon lock manufacturer. As a result, perfectly matched mortise locks can now be offered alongside lever sets and fittings. Customers value the wide range of products combined with the company’s technical expertise.
