On 1 July, it was exactly 10 years since VEKA AG from Sendenhorst took over 100% of the shares in the system house GEALAN Fenster-Systeme GmbH, headquartered in Oberkotzau, Upper Franconia.

International soccer game: Colleagues from our companies in Spain, England, France, Poland and other German subsidiaries traveled all the way to Sendenhorst to participate in the third edition of the VEKA European Championship.

A good two years have passed since the ground-breaking ceremony at GEALAN's Tanna site – now the new fully automated high-bay warehouse has been officially inaugurated in the presence of numerous high-profile guests.

Refurbishment of old PVC windows and doors is only consistently sustainable if outdated PVC windows are collected, fed into the proven recycling cycle and then processed into new, highly thermally insulating profiles. Therefore, we have been committed to PVC recycling for more than 30 years.

In Germany this year's Earth Day on April 22 is being celebrated under the motto "Water makes life possible". The example of VEKA shows, how much we can achieve in this area with commitment and good ideas.

After a six-year break due to the pandemic, the time had come again: our two system providers VEKA and GEALAN and our digitalization partner Digital Building Solutions (DBS) took part in FENSTERBAU FRONTALE in Nuremberg - and it was a complete success.

Award presented for outstanding innovative strength: GEALAN Fenster-Systeme has received the TOP 100 seal 2024 in the competition of the same name, making it the newly crowned innovation champion. The seal is awarded to particularly innovative medium-sized companies across all industries.

The world's leading trade fair in Nuremberg, Germany, is a real highlight for the entire industry. The world market leader VEKA is therefore very much looking forward to being represented at FENSTERBAU FRONTALE again after a six-year break.

This week our subsidiary VEKA plc welcomed the UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to their site. “We were thrilled to host the British Prime Minister and have a chance to share what we do and how we do it", summarizes VEKA plc Managing Director Neil Evans.
