VEKA Group was founded in Germany in 1968 as 'VekaPlast' and has been operating for more than fifty years.

The company began in Sendenhorst in Westphalia with 8 employees producing roller shutters and building profiles, but in 1969, under the direction of Heinrich Laumann, began manufacturing UPVC Windows.

VekaPlast grew in size throughout the 1970s and in 1981 opened a substantial new plant which was the most modern mixing plant for UPVC in Europe.

The company began to expand outside Germany in 1983 with a plant in Spain, and the UK operations began in 1986.

in 1991, the company name was changed from VekaPlast to VEKA, and continued to expand around the world with acqusitions of multiple strategic brands.
