Kawneer Company, Inc., an Alcoa business and a manufacturer of architectural aluminum products and systems for commercial construction, announced that it has combined product portfolios with its Traco division to offer a broader range of products.

From curtain wall systems and entrances to windows and framing systems, Kawneer and Traco provide a range of innovative, high performing products and systems for both renovation and new construction.  In 2010, Traco was acquired by Alcoa and became a division of Kawneer. Since then, the two businesses have been working to unite their brands in an effort to create differentiation and extend their reach beyond what was possible as two separate companies. BD+C
