The company
The name VELUX is not just a result of random series of letters: it comes from the Latin words ’ventilatio’ (ventilation) and ’lux’ (light). All of the company’s products – including roof windows and sun tunnels - serve the same goal: bringing light to life. The company stands out among the manufacturers not only for its goals, but also with its size and legacy: it has been sustainable before sustainability as a concept was invented. Being present in 40 countries VELUX has grown to an established industry leader multinational company, while its primary values are still the same since the beginning. We have 10 000 co-workers around the world, a thousand of which are employed in our 2 factories in Fertőd and Fertőszentmiklós, Hungary. Besides that we have our Hungarian sales office in Budapest, while the offices of the Online Sales Organization are in Budapest and Sopron. Our products are well-known worldwide. The VELUX Group is part of the VKR Holding A/S, which to this day is still owned by foundations and the family. The words of our founder still applies to our current employees: „We are daylight engineers, together we are bringing light to life.”
