European Engineering, American Support: Bringing HighPerformance Windows and Doors to the U.S. and Canada
MACO pairs proven European engineering with the reliability and responsiveness American customers expect
HighPerformance Is Becoming the New Standard
Across the United States and Canada, expectations for window and door performance are rising fast. Builders, architects, and homeowners want products that deliver airtightness, energy efficiency, smooth operation, and long-term durability—qualities that have defined European fenestration for decades.
As energy codes tighten and comfort becomes a bigger priority, European style systems like tilt and turn hardware and advanced multipoint locking are gaining traction throughout North America. These solutions help create tighter building envelopes, reduce energy loss, and support the high-performance construction practices shaping today’s market.
The Challenge: European Hardware Without Local Backup
Many European window and door systems imported into North America already rely on MACO hardware. But when fabricators or installers need replacement parts or additional components, sourcing from overseas can slow everything down.
Projects get delayed. Homeowners wait longer than they should. And fabricators hesitate to fully embrace European style systems without dependable local support.
MACO’s Solution: A Stronger North American Distribution Network
To eliminate these bottlenecks, MACO is expanding its distribution presence across the U.S. and Canada. A growing network of regional partners now provides faster access to genuine MACO hardware, technical support, and replacement components.
This expanded footprint delivers:
- Shorter lead times
- Local inventory
- Fewer project interruptions
- Direct access to technical expertise
In other words, MACO pairs proven European engineering with the reliability and responsiveness American customers expect.
Hardware Designed for Airtightness, Efficiency, and Long-Term Performance
MACO’s North American expansion brings the same advanced engineering that has supported high-performance buildings across Europe for decades.
Tilt & Turn Systems: Continuous Compression for Better Efficiency
MACO Tilt & Turn hardware maintains consistent compression around the entire sash, reducing air leakage and improving thermal stability. Its modular design allows fabricators to achieve high performance without complicating production.
Door Locks: Even Compression and Reliable Operation
The MACO Protect multipoint lock range uses a three-latch compression system that applies uniform gasket pressure from top to bottom. This helps reduce drafts, minimize warping, and maintain airtightness over time—especially important in coastal, cold climate, and high wind regions. And unlike many systems, it doesn’t require lifting the handle to engage the locking points.
Lift & Slide Systems: Smooth, Strong, and Built for Heavy Sashes
The Move HS lift and slide system supports sash weights up to 1,100 pounds while maintaining smooth, reliable operation. Integrated brushes in the rollers help keep tracks clean, reducing maintenance and preserving long-term performance.
Why Airtightness Matters More Than Ever
Energy efficiency is now a top priority for homeowners, builders, and regulators across North America. Airtight windows and doors reduce energy waste, improve indoor comfort, and help meet increasingly strict performance standards.
Choosing hardware engineered for airtightness reduces callbacks, boosts customer satisfaction, and delivers long-term value.
A Stronger Supply Chain for HighPerformance Projects
MACO’s combination of European engineering and North American availability strengthens the entire industry.
Fabricators benefit from:
- Reliable access to inventory
