Siegware Architectural Innovations recently welcomed industry professionals, partners and guests to Siegware Seminar 2026, a two-day event bringing together leading voices from across the window, door and building industries.
Held on 20 and 21 August 2026, the seminar began at Novotel Preston with a full day of presentations and industry discussions before moving to Siegware’s new warehouse in Ballan on day two for an exclusive warehouse tour and hands-on experience.
A Day of Industry Knowledge & Insights
The first day brought together industry specialists to explore key developments shaping the future of window and door systems, from building performance and compliance to manufacturing, technology and global supply chains.
Building performance was a key focus, with Soudal highlighting the impact of air leakage around window and door connections and the importance of effective, flexible sealing solutions for improved thermal efficiency and long-term performance. Discussions also covered window compliance, sealant selection, sustainability and the growing uPVC market, including how recycled PVC can be transformed into new building products.
Technology and manufacturing featured strongly, with insights into automation, digital production and fabrication efficiency, while SIEGENIA explored innovation in hardware and surface performance. The day also looked beyond the building industry itself, with SGL Global Logistics highlighting how global supply-chain disruption, diversification and resilience are changing the way businesses approach sourcing and logistics.
From Learning to Experience
The second day moved from presentations to experience, with attendees visiting Siegware’s new warehouse in Ballan.
The warehouse tour provided an opportunity to see Siegware’s expanded local operations and product stockholding firsthand, reinforcing the company’s commitment to improving availability, fulfilment and support for customers across Australia and New Zealand. The new facility forms part of Siegware’s broader expansion and investment in supporting architects, builders and fabricators.
More than a series of presentations, Siegware Seminar 2026 was an opportunity to share knowledge, explore new ideas and strengthen connections across the industry.
From building performance and compliance to automation, sustainable manufacturing and supply-chain resilience, the two-day event highlighted the many changes influencing the future of Australia’s window and door industry.
