BINQ and Leitz Shape the Future of Timber Windows

When it comes to precision timber windows and doors, BINQ Windows has built its reputation on craftsmanship, innovation and quality. For more than a decade, BINQ has been at the forefront of Australia’s shift toward high-performance, sustainable window systems. Their latest investment, the installation of Australia’s first Weinig Conturex profiling centre, takes that commitment to an entirely new level.

Partnering with Leitz Tooling Systems, BINQ has created a truly world-class production setup that’s redefining efficiency, accuracy and design freedom in Australian window manufacturing.

Levelling Up Precision Manufacturing

For BINQ, known for their European-style Tilt-and-Turn windows and Lift-and-Slide doors, the decision to invest in a Conturex wasn’t taken lightly. The fully automated system represents the very best in CNC technology, offering unprecedented consistency and output for solid timber components. The Conturex is one of the most advanced window manufacturing systems in the world, capable of transforming raw timber pieces into finished, perfectly profiled components.

But advanced machinery is only as good as the tools that power it. To achieve the flawless results BINQ demands, they turned to Leitz – the global leader for tooling for timber windows and doors.

Reflecting, Andre Griffs, founder of BINQ, says, “Every time I walk past the profiles coming out of the Conturex, I’m amazed. The precision, the quality of the cut – it’s flawless. There are no imperfections in the timber. It’s a credit to the harmony between the Leitz tooling and the Conturex system.”

A Partnership Built on Collaboration

Working hand in hand with the BINQ and Weinig teams, Leitz engineered a complete, fully integrated tooling solution designed specifically for the Conturex.

The project involved months of detailed engineering, from CAD modelling to on-site testing, to perfecting all data to ensure micron-level precision for the tooling. The result is a fully integrated system, where every cutter, profile and process aligns seamlessly with the Conturex’s automation software.

“It’s not just Leitz’ expertise in tooling,” Andre notes, “It’s their understanding of how the tools interact with the machine. They know what these machines can do – and more importantly, how to help us get the best out of them.”

The Results: Efficiency, Quality and Quiet Confidence

Since commissioning the Conturex with Leitz tooling, BINQ has seen a significant transformation in production efficiency and quality.

• Reduced handling and set-up times – several machining steps are consolidated into one automated operation
• Improved consistency – achieving tolerances within 0.1mm, even on complex timber profiles, with no breakout or chipping.
• Improved workflow – automation allows continuous processing, with even the tool storage and holders within the machine optimised for faster working.

“Without a shadow of a doubt, we made the right decision partnering with Leitz. We’re more efficient, our quality is better and the results speak for themselves.”

Shaping the Future of Australian Manufacturing

The BINQ and Leitz partnership reflects the power of local innovation and global expertise working together. With Leitz tooling at the core of the Conturex machine, BINQ has unlocked the full potential of advanced CNC manufacturing, helping to make high-performance, sustainable, European-style timber windows right here in Australia.

As both companies continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in modern joinery and window production, one this is clear: precision, partnership and performance remain at the heart of everything they do.
