Two decades of advocating for the fenestration and façade industry in India — built one edition at a time.
The Zak Doors & Windows story actually begins one show earlier — with an expo built around glass processing technology. Architects and developers, eager to see what was possible with glass in a building façade, started asking for more.
Born as an offshoot of the glass show, the inaugural edition met a façade and fenestration industry that was still young and largely unorganised. uPVC and aluminium profile systems were just arriving in India from Europe, alongside the hardware and machinery makers who built them — and the show became the place that connected them with the local market.
Close to 200 brands from India and abroad now exhibit each year, with the show alternating between New Delhi and Mumbai. Designers, investors, manufacturers, installers and fabricators use it as their window into the latest technology available in India — and more than a few door, window and façade businesses trace their start back to a stand on this show floor.
Who's behind it
Zak Exhibitions & Conferences — known simply as "Zak" — has organised the Doors & Windows Expo since the beginning. Founded in 1994, the company has since run more than 600 exhibitions and conferences spanning 22 industries across 50 countries, with a core focus on acting as the bridge between exhibitor and visitor.
Glass, façade, fenestration and aluminium extrusion events are where Zak specialises. Close working relationships with the industry's established names give the team a practical read on the challenges the sector is facing, and shape how each edition of the show is run.
