Service Capabilities

Each capability is available as a standalone engagement or as a component of a full integrated deployment.

01

System Architecture

Every deployment begins with a rigorous system architecture process — defining the material system, hardware specification, supplier landscape, and North American code compliance pathway before a single component is sourced.

Capabilities

  • Material system selection across PVC, aluminum, wood, fiberglass, and composite
  • Hardware specification and performance criteria definition
  • Supplier landscape analysis and shortlist development
  • AAMA, NFRC, and energy code compliance mapping
  • System Selection Report with documented decision rationale

Outcome

A technically defensible system specification that eliminates downstream rework and supplier misalignment.

02

Hardware Integration

FPG's European system relationships provide access to hardware and profile technologies that represent a significant advance over legacy North American market standards. Integration work ensures compatibility, compliance, and supply chain reliability from Day 1.

Capabilities

  • European hardware supplier identification and partnership development
  • Supply agreement negotiation and logistics coordination
  • North American hardware compatibility validation
  • Imperial dimension adaptation and code compliance documentation
  • Ongoing supply relationship management and quality oversight

Outcome

A reliable, code-compliant hardware supply chain built on vetted European partnerships — not catalog sourcing.

03

Profile System Deployment

Deploying a European profile system in North America requires more than translation — it requires technical adaptation, testing coordination, and a deep understanding of both the source system and the target market. FPG manages the full adaptation process.

Capabilities

  • European profile system evaluation and technical due diligence
  • Technical documentation translation and North American adaptation
  • AAMA/NFRC testing coordination for new profile systems
  • Fabricator training on system-specific installation and fabrication requirements
  • Ongoing technical support and system evolution management

Outcome

A fully adapted, certified European profile system ready for North American fabrication and commercial deployment.

04

ERP & Digital Manufacturing

Modern fenestration fabrication requires digital manufacturing infrastructure — ERP systems configured for fenestration-specific workflows, production management tools, and real-time operational visibility. FPG manages the full implementation lifecycle.

Capabilities

  • ERP deployment architecture and platform selection for fenestration fabrication environments
  • Fenestration-specific configuration and bill of materials architecture
  • Production workflow digitization and routing setup
  • Quality management system integration and reporting architecture
  • Staff training and post-implementation support

Outcome

A fully configured digital manufacturing environment that connects fabrication operations to business systems and production intelligence.

05

Testing Coordination

Certification is a critical path item in every fenestration deployment — delays here delay everything. FPG's testing coordination capability manages the full certification process, from lab selection through final documentation.

Capabilities

  • AAMA 101 voluntary specification testing coordination
  • NFRC 100/200 U-factor and SHGC rating management
  • ENERGY STAR certification pathway and filing
  • ASTM structural, air, and water resistance testing
  • Impact/hurricane certification for FL, TX, and Gulf Coast markets

Outcome

A complete certification package delivered on schedule — no surprises, no delays from testing mismanagement.

06

Fabrication Support

Getting a fenestration product certified is only half the challenge — building it consistently and profitably requires a well-engineered fabrication operation. FPG's fabrication support capability covers plant design through production commissioning.

Capabilities

  • Plant layout design and equipment specification
  • Production workflow engineering and cycle time optimization
  • Equipment commissioning and tooling setup
  • Quality management system implementation and documentation
  • Operator training and production ramp support

Outcome

A production-ready facility capable of delivering consistent quality at target cycle times from first commercial run.

07

Commercialization Strategy

Technical excellence does not sell itself. FPG's commercialization capability translates a certified, production-ready product into a market-facing offering with clear positioning, channel strategy, and launch execution.

Capabilities

  • Market positioning and competitive differentiation strategy
  • Pricing architecture and margin structure development
  • Distribution channel design and dealer/contractor network development
  • Brand architecture and product naming for new lines
  • Launch execution and first-year commercial support

Outcome

A commercially positioned product with a defined channel strategy and a credible path to first revenue.

08

Market Entry Support

For European system developers entering the North American market, FPG provides the full market entry infrastructure — from regulatory navigation through fabricator partner development and commercial launch.

Capabilities

  • North American market assessment and entry strategy
  • Regulatory and code compliance navigation (AAMA, NFRC, IRC, IBC)
  • Fabricator partner identification and relationship development
  • Distribution network design and channel partner agreements
  • Brand localization and North American marketing support

Outcome

A structured North American market entry with validated fabricator partners and a defined commercial launch plan.
