Global Business Awards 2026

Corporate Vision Best Commercial Window Company 2026 – Australia EBSA Pty Ltd is an Australian window company specialising in window automation, natural ventilation, and smoke ventilation systems. EBSA works in a range of commercial and public-sector environments, collaborating with architects, consultants, builders, manufacturers, and building owners through its full-service approach. Named Best Commercial Window Company 2026 – Australia, Chris Guy, its director, told us more about EBSA and what makes it a trusted partner for commercial projects. EBSA Pty Ltd is an Australian-owned company renowned for bringing performance-driven solutions to commercial buildings. Over the years, the company has been involved in numerous award-winning projects, with buildings like 123 Albert Street netting the company and its partners acclaim on both a national and international scale. EBSA’s involvement in a project can begin during the design and specification phase, and continues to supply, installation, and even ongoing maintenance afterwards, thus highlighting its scope. Chris explained: “A big part of what we do is making sure the complete system works properly, rather than simply supplying individual components.” EBSA ensures this by doing what it says it will, being technically competent, using quality products, and standing behind what it supplies. These are the values at the heart of the company, and they are underpinned by the shared belief that, if there is a better way to do something, its team must be prepared to investigate, test it, and make those improvements themselves. As for the team behind some of the best window automation, natural ventilation, and smoke ventilation systems in Australia, they are a small, specialist group, meaning everyone has an important role to play. The abundance of specialist knowledge that exists within the business is something EBSA is keen to share, across both its current team and new starters. This is the foundation of a culture that prioritises learning and continuous evolution, something that has always been a major part of EBSA’s development and which continues to this day. Working in an industry that is a lot more technical than people first realise, EBSA encounters a number of challenges it must navigate, especially concerning commercial window automation, which is something often left until quite late on in the design process. Chris told us: “A motorised window is not simply a window with a motor attached to it. Window selection, actuator selection, controls, power supplies, cabling, building interfaces, access, weather performance, and smoke-control requirements all need to work together.” If these decisions are left too late, it can lead to unnecessary compromises during the construction phase, which its clients and partners are always keen to avoid. This is why EBSA’s approach hinges on getting involved as early as possible, working alongside other projects teams to keep things running smoothly from the beginning. The rigorous engineering and testing behind every solution further streamlines this process, as it sees any problems ironed out in the early stages, rather than at a point where time is of the essence. Ultimately, this is where EBSA provides real value, as it takes window automation – which again is a specialist building system – and covers all the engineering that goes into a reliably automated window. This means all of the systems and components which will play a massive part in how that window will perform over the course of its life. By rigorously assessing all of these, and not simply supplying a box of components and walking away, EBSA makes commercial buildings look great and perform better, hence its ongoing acclaim. Even after many years in this industry, Chris and the team are still learning and still looking for ways to make their systems even better. The next 12 months remain rooted in product development, testing, and improving these offerings, with active research and development projects currently ongoing across its louvre systems and window automation solutions. As building automation becomes sophisticated, there is also the recognition that systems offering better control, information, and support are becoming increasingly sought after. In closing, and reflecting on EBSA Pty Ltd being celebrated in this edition of the Global Business Awards, Guy commented: “If an existing solution works well, there is no reason to change it for the sake of change. But where we see an opportunity to improve performance, reliability, controls, installation or servicing, we are prepared to invest in developing and testing it. That is probably the best description of how EBSA operates – keep learning, keep testing, and keep improving.” More on the results this yields can be seen below.
