1974: Cindu-Key & Kramer takes over Atab.  Albintra follows the same path as Atab.

1975: Albintra moves from Hoboken to Broechem in July.  The new offices and warehouses provide the growing company with more space.  Also that year, the materials department is created: Albintra has the exclusive distribution of Böcker lifts, Geda products and of Flux Flender bitumen boilers.  Exclusive distribution of STYRODUR® insulation boards in XPS.

1997: Beginning of an own production of skylights.  Sale of the materials department – the company decides to focus on the distribution of building materials and on the production of skylights.  Exclusive distribution of ISO-DRAIN®.

2013: Start of our big transformation works: the old offices and one of our warehouses were demolished and replaced by brand new ones.  The project was done with the architect Crépain-Binst and the contractor Verhelst.

2015: End of the works!  After two years in containers, we were more than happy to move into our beautiful new offices.  The capacity of our warehouse was substantially increased.
