At the prestigious awards ceremony of the Window and Door Hardware Awards, held on Friday 18 October 2024 at the Hotel Parco dei Principi in Bari, Italy, APRO, the Master Group‘s innovative range of solutions for natural ventilation and door and window automation, was awarded Best Product 2024 in the aluminium category. This prize, now in its sixth edition, was awarded by the editorial staff of Nuova Finestra with the support of over 4,000 votes from Guidafinestra.it readers  

APRO is the result of an industrial research project supported by the Master Group’s more than 30 years’ experience in the production and marketing of high-tech solutions for aluminium windows and doors, designed to respond to the evolution of a market that demands ever-better integrated, automated and intelligent windows and doors.  

The range consists of overlaid or built-in actuators with very small dimensions to combine movement efficiency and design,  complemented by locking systems and control devices via gateways interfaced with a dedicated application. With the APRO series gateways and the native APRO APP or integrations with popular building automation devices, you can manage access, create profiles with different permissions, and have control of all APRO devices directly on your device.   

“The award is a confirmation of our commitment to continuous innovation and our ability to anticipate the needs of the window and door industry,” said Francesco Simone, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer of the Master Group.  

“Just last year we won the Archiproducts Design Award for the System Components and Materials category with APRO , an absolute international recognition. Today, the Window and Door Hardware Awards of Nuova Finestra, one of the most authoritative publications in the sector in Italy, highlighted once again how this programme responds concretely to the growing market demand for solutions capable of transforming any window or door into an integrated Home Automation system”.
