VEKA is a global leader in PVC/vinyl extrusion for the window and door, fence, deck and railing industries. Since 1983, VEKA has been helping fabricators deploy technologically advanced materials for residential and commercial building applications.

Founded in 1967 as Vekaplast, VEKA began 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 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. 

VEKA's U.S. operations also had modest beginnings in 1983. The company quickly outgrew its rented facility, as the demand for its high-quality vinyl products grew rapidly. In 1987, VEKA constructed the industry's first highly automated computer-controlled compounding and extrusion complex dedicated solely to the window and door market.

By 1994, that facility had undergone two expansions and seen the addition of a two-story office building., bringing its floorspace total to 465,000 square feet. In 1995, the company built VEKA West, Incorporated, A revolutionary new, highly automated facility near Reno, Nevada which serves Canada, Mexico and the Western U.S.

In 2006, VEKA South located in Terrell texas was established to provide the southern United States and Mexico with quality VEKA extrusions.
