Family-owned business WEHA-THERM, a longstanding member of the SANCO Group, has been awarded the first SANCO Reference Award for its exemplary project at the Holzkirchen State Grammar School. The award acknowledges not only the company’s professional excellence but also its exemplary commitment to its local region.

Sustainability and innovation for the classrooms of tomorrow 

The winning project, the expansion of Holzkirchen Grammar School, masterfully combines sustainable construction with cutting-edge technical solutions. For this project, WEHA-THERM supplied highly functional glass products, including laminated safety glass 8.2 EN 2 Plus and Float 4 with Superspacer, offering outstanding thermal insulation (Ugvalue of 0.6 W/m²K). This reduces energy costs while supporting the school’s sustainability goals. Additionally, the ample use of daylight creates a bright and open learning environment that inspires students and teachers alike. Excellent soundproofing further contributes to a productive and secure learning space. The combination of functionality and sustainability makes Holzkirchen Grammar School a model of modern school architecture.

Local roots, far-reaching impact 

WEHA-THERM’s strong regional ties are particularly noteworthy. The company executes most of its projects within a 300-kilometre radius of its headquarters in Hutthurm, actively shaping the development of its local area. ‘We’re proud to make a positive contribution to our region, whether through innovative construction projects or by collaborating with local partners,’ says Managing Director Daniel Freund. ‘Beautiful references like this are only possible because of the trust our clients place in us with such fantastic projects.’ In the case of Holzkirchen Grammar School, the windows produced by WEHA-THERM were installed by Unterholzer Metallbau GmbH of Töging am Inn.

Specialising in the manufacture and installation of high-quality glass products – including laminated and tempered safety glass – WEHATHERM employs around 150 people and is among the region’s leading companies.

Partnership that inspires

The SANCO Reference Award underscores not only the exceptional quality of WEHA-THERM’s work but also the importance of partnership within the SANCO Group. ‘WEHA-THERM demonstrates how engagement and expertise can lead to projects that showcase the values of our group. It’s a model for our entire partner network,’ says Denis Löhle, a representative of the SANCO Group, who presented the award alongside his colleague, Ulrike Gromnitza.

About the SANCO Reference Award

The SANCO Reference Award was created to celebrate outstanding projects among SANCO Group’s partner companies. The award represents quality, innovation, and successful collaboration within the network.

The award criteria extend beyond design considerations, recognising achievements in areas such as craftsmanship, logistics, sustainability, and social impact. Projects that exemplify sustainability initiatives, support for children’s and disability organisations, or charitable events form a distinct award category.

The award will return next year for its second round.
