Worldwide:
International success with quality
Corporate foresight and a keen sense for market potential characterised VEKA’s growth strategy from the very beginning. That’s why, quite early on, the company expanded its activities not only in other countries, but also in new business areas, and today it has achieved success on four continents.

1983

The internationalisation of the company begins with establishing subsidiaries in Spain (VEKA Ibérica, S.A.U., photo) and the USA (VEKA Inc.). Shortly thereafter, subsidiaries are founded in France (VEKA SAS) and Great Britain (VEKA plc).
1993

In Behringen in the state of Thuringia, VEKA Umwelttechnik GmbH opens the largest and most advanced recycling plant for PVC-U profiles in Europe. This makes it possible to close the material circuit for the valuable raw material PVC-U almost completely.
1994

VEKA Polska Sp. z o. o. is the first subsidiary established in the Eastern European market. VEKA is also present in China for the first time with the foundation of a joint venture (photo).
1999

With the establishment of OOO ‘VEKA Rus’ near Moscow (photo), market entry into Russia is realised; the second plant is opened in Novosibirsk in 2004. VEKA is now present in Argentina (VEKA Latina S.A.) and Singapore (VEKA Plastics Pte. Ltd.) as well.
