This year will see further investment in UK manufacturing from VEKA Group.

Much like 2017, we anticipate a relatively challenging market in 2018 – but we know there are always pockets of growth. Customer feedback informs our ongoing product development, so we can be confident our offering meets the needs of our client base perfectly.

VEKA Group will continue to lead the industry with fantastic customer support initiatives such as Independent Network, and the consumer marketing budget has been increased three-fold in this area to support our installers in what could be considered a relatively ‘flat’ market.

Exciting UK developments for VEKA include multiple investments planned in lamination, to not only significantly grow our capacity, but also ensure we can offer the flexibility to service all types of demand in colours, both mainstream and complex. We will also be investing in numerous other onsite facilities, while VEKA Recycling announces plans to build Europe’s most technically advanced recycling plant in Northamptonshire!

We remain realistic about 2018’s potential challenges but, without investment, a company and its customers would ‘stand still’, and that is not something we are content to do.
