The management staff of the German Veka AG consortium has announced for 2013 a turnover of almost EUR 800 million, slightly increasing as compared to the previous financial year. The holding will, thus, consolidate its leader position on the international market of suppliers of PVC systems intended for the performance of heat insulating joinery; the successful performance being, in the opinion of the management staff, the direct consequence of the productivity increase and process optimising. Andreas Hartleif, group chief executive officer, declared that the „German window market has been in 2013 as well a key-component in the Veka distribution strategy, given the dominant orientation towards quality.
Also we are leaders in the U.S.A. on our business line section, but at the European level we have faced certain problems, particularly in the Czech Republic and Ukraine”. For the next period of time, there is hope that the newly passed provisions in the federal area in the field of power efficiency will trigger sale increase. Bonifatius Eichwald, vice-president of the VEKA AG board of directors, underlined the fact that, in the future, the demand will preponderantly focus on products ensuring high characteristics of comfort, design, quality, functionality, power efficiency, sustainability and break-in resistance. From the financial perspective, the company’s stated target for this year is to maintain sales values above the EUR 800 million quota.
