context_page_description: Technal is a brand of Norsk Hydro, the Norwegian group whose business focuses on aluminium extrusion-based solutions.
  Part of Hydro's Building Systems division, Technal is present in Europe, Latin America, South Africa. It is engaged in the development, manufacturing and marketing of aluminum glazing systems for commercial, public and residential buildings.
context_section_description: The Technal logo sympbolises one of its key product components - the 4114 profile.
  In 1960, the first logo showed the company name "Alusud", the "A" becoming a stylised graphic in 1966. When the company opened overseas in 1970, the name and the graphic representation of the 4114 profile were brought together to form a new logo and the emblem of the Technal system; Alusud became known as Technal.
  In 1983 the brand and logo were brought together and two years later, a new graphic was created and became internationally widespread. In 1995, the graphic identity of Technal was redesigned to represent the much evolved business.
