Since 1989, voestalpine and the Upper Austrian company DOMICO have been combining a successful and trusting partnership. As soon as Strip Coating Line 1 was commissioned, voestalpine delivered its high-quality steel strip to the specialists for roof and wall cladding at the Vöcklamarkt and Pötting sites. DOMICO sells its roof and facility segments mainly to customers in Central Europe and relies heavily on the quality of colofer®. 

One of the projects that impressively demonstrates the strength of this partnership and the versatility of colofer® is the new fire station in Oberaula, Germany. This customized building facade ideally combines functionality, aesthetics and a crucial security aspect.

The Challenge

The municipality of Oberaula was faced with the task of bringing together several local fire departments at a central, modern location. What was required was a building that meets the highest functional and safety requirements while serving as a visible symbol of the community and its values.

The perfect solution provided by DOMICO and colofer® 

The centerpiece of the new fire station is a column-free garage with the impressive dimensions of 41 meters in length by 14 meters in width. The DOMICO segmented roof was made with robust Domitec® roofing made of colofer® PLUS 50. The exterior features a modern DOMICO Planum® facade in elegant RAL 7016. The 320 m² Planum® facade was made of colofer® UV25.


Product details:
320 m² Planum® facade: Steel sheets, PVDF coated, RAL 7016; facade: colofer® UV25
1000 m² segmented, trussed roof and Domitec® roof covering: Steel sheets, RESISTA coated, RAL 7024; roofing: colofer® PLUS 50

Analysis of the results 

A well-thought-out architectural strategy ensures that calls can be answered efficiently and processes can be implemented smoothly. At the same time, fire stations are also a visible symbol of the municipality and reflect its values in architectural design as well as in the choice of building materials.

A strong connection: "Made in Austria" as a success factor

What makes the partnership between DOMICO and voestalpine so special is the shared appreciation for "Made in Austria” quality and innovation. Both companies attach great importance to reliability, handshake quality and continuous development of their products. Their long-term cooperation enables a valuable exchange of experience that forms the basis for new innovations.

Both companies are also committed to sustainability and the conservation of resources. DOMICO is thinking into the future as a family business. We are particularly pleased that the first buildings made of colofer® in the greentec steel Edition, steel strip with a reduced carbon footprint made by voestalpine, have already been built.
