Velux Roof Windows and Skylights

Velux is the global market leader in roof windows and skylights. The brand was founded in Denmark in 1941 by Villum Kann Rasmussen, who invented the first modern roof window to transform dark attics into bright, livable spaces. The name 'Velux' is derived from 'VE' for ventilation and 'LUX', the Latin word for light.

Today, Velux products are manufactured in factories across several countries, including Denmark, Germany, France, Hungary, Poland, China, and the United States. This international manufacturing footprint allows the company to serve regional markets efficiently while maintaining Danish design standards.

The brand is owned by the VKR Group (VKR Holding A/S), a massive Danish holding company that remains largely controlled by the Villum Foundation and the Rasmussen family. The group operates with a sustainability-first approach, focusing on bringing daylight and fresh air into buildings globally.
