Vertical windows

Biggest in Europe

DOVISTA is Europe’s largest manufacturer of vertical windows. The group consists of 14 different brands, each of which has strong roots in its local market.
The companies work independently, each with its own expertise, products and in its own marketplace.

At the same time, each company is part of the strong DOVISTA community, sharing inspiration, knowledge and the business philosophy of being socially responsible model companies.

We want to make a difference

A portion of our profits go to THE VELUX FOUNDATIONS which support a range of environmental, scientific, cultural and social purposes. Due to the daily efforts of the nearly 20,000 VKR employees the Foundations gave grants totalling approx €181 million in 2022.
“The purpose of the VKR Group is to establish a number of model companies which cooperate in an exemplary manner. A model company works with products useful to society and treats its customers, suppliers, employees of all categories and shareholders better than most other companies.”
Villum Kann Rasmussen, 1965
