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.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION & DEMOUNTING
The prefabricated Frank showcase is delivered disassembled and well-packed. It can be assembled or disassembled in a few simple steps by only one person.
Detailed assembly instructions are included.

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.
