FURNITURE FITTINGS IN ITS MOST BEAUTIFUL FORM
For more than 75 years, the Austrian family company SIRO has been characterized by reliability, flexibility and constant further development of the range of products. Optimizing the design to keep pace with the times is just as much a part of SIRO's daily work as the in-house development of innovative products that meet the most diverse requirements in terms of appearance and function worldwide.

This combination of tradition, durability and innovation has made SIRO one of the leading manufacturers of decorative furniture fittings. Together with long-standing partners, a brand was created with SIRO that enjoys a high reputation in the industry.

Today, the company, headquartered in Ternberg, is active in over 50 countries worldwide.


FROM MICRO BUSINESS
TO THE INTERNATIONAL BRAND
