Company history
It started with a visionary idea
The origin of the VEKA Group is in Sendenhorst, Westphalia, where our headquarter is still located today. Here it all started, when Heinrich Laumann laid the groundwork for an entrepreneurial success story with his visionary idea and foresight.
How it all began
Heinrich Laumann took over the company VEKAPLAST in Sendenhorst, which manufactured roller shutters and building profiles with only 8 employees. Heinrich Laumann on the other hand focused on PVC windows as a product of the future. He quickly took initiatives to develop the first window profile system.
