A show of strength from Veka Group
The UK team from Veka joined Veka Group colleagues from across its 40 global subsidiaries at Fensterbau Frontale in March. The system company had a 1,000m2 exhibition space, complete with cutting-edge display technology.
According to Veka, the show confirmed the ‘remarkable strength’ of the Veka Group, the importance it places on collaborative partnerships and its commitment to driving sustainability within the sector.
Attendees had the opportunity to see a number of products and innovations including Veka Fine Structure, which uses pioneering surface technologies for a power-coated aluminium look and feel, and the range of design surfaces and foils in the Veka Spectral range. Veka also displayed its new sliding systems, VekaMove 76, and VekaMotion 82.
The UK presented one of the three international showcases alongside France and Denmark, introducing its latest product, created through collaboration with industry partners. Due to be officially launched in the UK in April, it is promised to herald a ‘brand-new era’ for the window and door sector.
Additional highlights included Veka AluConnect, VekaFast, smart home components from Texino, and a display from Veka subsidiary, Digital Building Solutions (DBS).
Future friendly focus
With sustainability a major focus for Veka, Veka AG also spotlighted Veka Umwelttechnik which is said to be leading the way in plastic window recycling. This approach is mirrored in the UK through Veka Recycling with a pioneering approach towards enabling a sustainable closed-loop system for the PVC-U sector.
Neil Evans, managing director at Veka, said: “Fensterbau provides a fantastic opportunity for the entire Veka Group to come together on a massive scale to showcase not only the innovation and quality that make Veka who we are, but also just how strong the Veka family is, which was emphasised throughout the show as ‘Veka & Partners – a strong team’.
“We’ve been working on something behind the scenes for a few years now, and we’re excited that we have a date set when we will officially unveil this in the UK – watch this space.”
