About Group a
Group a is a Belgian family-owned company, founded in 1977 by Eugène Alen. We commercialise and offer a large range of quality windows and doors in PVC, aluminium and wood via a franchising network for our two brands, Belisol and KwadrO. Group a provides a complete concept based on market needs to service and delight the private customer.
Belisol serves the Belgian, Dutch and French markets via a franchising system. Belisol windows and doors has grown into the largest doors and windows provider in Belgium and the Netherlands. In France, Belisol is also a byword for professional advice tailored precisely to your wishes, lifestyle and home.
KwadrO serves the Flemish part of Belgium via a franchising system. KwadrO was created to cover the remaining market for windows and doors, both in terms of geographic spread and market segmentation. KwadrO offers different products, appeals to another target group and presents a different image.
Both group a brands stand for sustainability, reliability and clarity. You will always receive expertise, quality and perfect service.
