Franz Schneider Brakel GmbH + Co KG (FSB), established in 1881 by Franz Schneider in Iserlohn, Germany, initially specialized in producing antique-style cabinet fittings and brass devotional items. In 1909, the company relocated to Brakel, integrating the 'B' into its name to become FSB. FSB manufactures high-quality door and window hardware, including handles made from aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and bronze.

Today, FSB has expanded their range of offerings to be compliant with ISO 14001, ISO 50001, and EN 1906 requirements, and in some cases, far exceed the global standards (our 1,500,000 cycle test). Alongside collaborations with world renowned architects and designers, FSB's popularity with their visually and functionally compelling hardware solutions for doors and windows has led to the growth in over 35 countries/ regions.
