VEKA HERITAGE was founded in 1967 as Vekaplast, producing roller shutters out of a fifteen thousand square foot rented facility. Two years later, one of the original employees, Heinrich Laumann purchased the company and began designing window systems, the first of which were unveiled in 1971.

Six years later, VEKA (UPVC windows Delhi) was able to build a revolutionary manufacturing site which was hailed as a technological marvel in its time. Today, in addition to this first facility, ten other sister facilities operate in eight countries on three continents. no one could have guessed that it would one day be World’s largest uPVC windows & doors profile maker.
