Jul 17, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. VKR Holding divested its Canadian subsidiary Loewen – manufacturer of high quality windows and doors for the architectural segment in North America – to a group of investors including part of the Loewen family and the management in Loewen, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The transaction follows a strategic review of VKR Holding’s worldwide portfolio of businesses. “We did not see sufficient synergies with our other investments within vertical windows and doors and are satisfied with the solution found with the new owners,” Jan Lundsgaard Jensen, CEO of VKR Holding, comments.

VKR Holding will maintain its presence in the North American window market through its investment in the VELUX Group (roof windows and skylights).

VKR Holding is a holding and investment company which owns companies within four business areas.
