When FRANK EUROPE GmbH was founded in 2001, the company launched the first version of a (truly) demountable quality display case. The acrylic glass display case was mainly used for temporary museum exhibitions due to the advantages of easy handling with the usual safety requirements. Due to permanent further developments and “upgrades” to the growing customer demands, the FRANK showcase system was able to completely fulfill the requirements for permanent exhibitions after a short time.
After many years of tests and trials, a glass version with the same handling could also reach market maturity in 2018.
The FRANK showcase system consists of a revolutionary and unique plug-in technology, with which glass panels made of acrylic or laminated mineral glass are connected to each other in a flush-fitting and highly stable way without any screws, without cluing and without seals. Both systems are patented and are manufactured exclusively in FRANK manufactories.
From the start the idea always was to be able to present an exhibition exhibit to the viewer with as little visual disturbance as possible. The audience’s attention should be focused exclusively on the object, with the construction of the protective display case receding into the background.

“It’s what’s inside that counts”
It is this purist philosophy that distinguishes and sets FRANK display cases apart from other showcase products with their “less is more” approach. In a very short time, FRANK has acquired a considerable reputation in the museum and exhibition world. The FRANK brand became a symbol of innovation, high quality, flexibility and cost-effective solutions. FRANK has now completed over 650 projects worldwide to the complete satisfaction of its customers. The protection, preservation and presentation of artifacts are of critical importance. FRANK products meet these requirements to the highest museum standards. And FRANK offers them with the added benefits of lower costs and significantly shorter development and delivery times.
The experienced and dedicated team of FRANK is very well organized and uses its unique production technology and machinery. Those features allow to plan, manufacture and install an entire exhibition in the shortest possible time. The superiority over conventional showcase manufacturing becomes clear when cost and time budgets are in competition.

HIGHLIGHTS
DEMOUNTABLE
The FRANK System can be installed and dismantled intuitively and without special tools in a very short time. Plug-in technology allows easy replacement of all parts (sheets and components). Further advantages are the space-saving storage and multiple re-uses of the showcases in future projects and exhibitions.
QUALITY & SECURITY
FRANK showcases are “made in Germany” and meet the highest quality standards. The patented system and very precise processing guarantee high stability and safety. Using selected materials, we ensure high quality, an excellent investment, and a long service life.
UNIQUE IN THE WORLD
“Uniquely FRANK” stands for unique, patented display cabinet technology. It combines the functionality of the system itself with all the advantages a solution in acrylic can offer, for example, low risk of breakage and lightweight (when maintaining or during transport), and adds all the advantages of mineral glass (usually low-iron laminated or even non-reflective). For example, it looks and offers an extremely valuable appearance.
FRANK Showcase System
TECHNOLOGY THAT CONNECTS
The FRANK showcase system features our unrivalled slide-in technology. It requires no screws or gaskets for dustproof and airtight storage and preservation. Simply insert the inconspicuous aluminium strips into the grooves machined in the edges of the panels. No wider than the two eight-millimetre panels’ connecting joint, these slim extrusions are flush with the surface when installed. Most important of all, they provide a precise-fitting connection with the stability of a permanent joint and the flexibility of a quick-release fixture that enables easy disassembly.
VERSIONS
Whether in acrylic or in laminated glass, the FRANK showcases are available in all dimensions and types, such as freestanding tables, wall cases, etc. The installation can be made by local staff or by our FRANK service team. No other showcases system is that easy to handle!
