Protection against vibrations and noise in urban areas
Bürs/Munich (AT/DE): Getzner Werkstoffe is presenting sustainably produced and effective sound and vibration protection solutions to construction planners and urban developers at the BAU Munich 2025 trade fair. In addition to the material Relomer, which is based on recycled polyurethane, the company will be presenting its expanded product range for impact sound isolation with regard to sustainability. In over 20 live presentations at the stand, the experts will shed light on the challenges posed by vibrations and noise in urban areas.
Cooperation within the field of recycled elastomers
Bürs (AT). In January 2024, Getzner Werkstoffe Holding GmbH acquired 50% of the shares in Isolgomma Srl, a manufacturer of special products for sound insulation and vibration control based on recycled rubber. For Getzner, this is a further step towards sustainability and the support of material cycles.Getzner is leading in vibration protection in the railway, construction and industrial sectors and has a broad-based portfolio. Specially developed polyurethane-based materials such as Sylomer are characterised by a long service life, maintenance-free operation and long-term stable material properties. The in-house Isotop series also utilises the dynamic properties of steel springs for optimum vibration isolation. Products made from recycled elastomers will also be increasingly used in the future, for example when the ecological footprint plays a special role. "We want to offer customised solutions," says Jürgen Rainalter, Chief Executive Officer of Getzner. "In addition to technical performance, there are a whole range of other factors that we take into account in the respective configuration."

GEPI Connect granted ETA and CE marking
The GEPI Connect angle brackets recently have been granted the European Technical Assessment (ETA) and CE marking. The three angle types for different load ranges were developed as a cooperation between Getzner, Pitzl as well as the University of Innsbruck and can now be used throughout Europe for static verification thanks to ETA approval. The declaration of conformity (CE marking) confirms that the products meet the technical requirements of the European Union. The mark guarantees unrestricted use within the European market and also stands for controlled product quality."The certification enables problem-free, Europe-wide installation in accordance with the Construction Products Regulation, which is particularly relevant for public buildings. We hope that this will make it even easier for those responsible for construction to decide in favour of our product," emphasises Sebastian Wiederin, product manager at Getzner.
