GRIFFNER Floating House

A strong team for sustainable construction and the highest design standards

Georg C. Niedersüß, Managing Director and owner of GRIFFNER, praises the collaboration: “Protektor is the right partner to respond to the individual wishes of our customers. Our customers expect tailor-made solutions that are not only sustainable but also aesthetically pleasing. With Protektor, we can keep this promise.” Every year, GRIFFNER realizes 60 to 100 individual properties, each of which is planned in close consultation with the customer to create unique and tailor-made homes.

Thanks to the flexible collaboration with Protektor, GRIFFNER was able to ensure that the execution of the wall and façade finishes was flawless and functional. “Our aim is to hand over a defect-free trade to our customers, and with Protektor at our side, we achieve this goal,” continues Niedersüß.

Thomas Attelschek, Technical Manager at GRIFFNER, adds: “It was important for us to have a partner who not only understands our high standards of quality and sustainability, but is also flexible enough to try out new ideas with us. Protektor offered us precisely this flexibility with its expertise and innovative products.”

Challenges and solutions: An insight from Thomas Mokros

Thomas Mokros, Key Account Manager at Protektor, describes the challenges of the project: “The aim was to fully understand the structural problem. To do this, we held several meetings with Thomas Attelschek from GRIFFNER and our product management team. Through this exchange at eye level, we were ultimately able to develop a profile with the right geometry.” The intensive collaboration between the teams made it possible to find a tailor-made solution that was both technically and creatively convincing.

Measures for smooth cooperation

Stephan Poser, Head of Key Account Management at Protektor, emphasizes the importance of close coordination: “Our key account management accompanied the entire project and coordinated it both internally and externally. Particular attention was paid to active communication with the customer. We kept GRIFFNER constantly informed about progress to ensure that everyone involved stayed on track.” This structured approach ensured a smooth process and led to a successful outcome.

Protektor-Products and USPs in use

Several special construction profiles from Protektor were used for the Floating House, which were developed to meet the exact requirements of the project. “Our USP lies in really understanding the customer’s needs and developing a solution together,” explains Stephan Poser. “We accompany the customer through the entire process and ensure that the collaboration is satisfactory in the long term.”

The combination of technical expertise and the ability to respond to the individual requirements of each project sets Protektor apart from other providers. “We see ourselves not just as a supplier, but as a partner who works with the customer to develop the best possible solution,” continues Poser.

A project of the highest quality

For Stephan Poser, the Floating House was another example of how quality is crucial: “This project showed me once again that quality beats price. With the Floating House, GRIFFNER and Studio F. A. Porsche stand for an absolute seal of quality – and that also applies to us as a supplier. This promise can only be kept with the right partners and high-quality products. I am particularly pleased that we were able to meet these high standards as an industry partner.”

Conclusion: Protektor as a partner for the future of construction

By working with GRIFFNER, Protektor has once again proven that the company is a strong and flexible partner for sustainable and innovative construction projects. The combination of high-quality products, modern digitalization and sustainable solutions makes Protektor the ideal choice for demanding construction projects such as the “Floating House”.

“We are proud to be part of this extraordinary project and look forward to further exciting challenges with partners like GRIFFNER who share our passion for quality and innovation,” explains the team at Protektor. Georg C. Niedersüß is also in favor of further cooperation in the future, saying:
