Altaterra manufactures and sells high quality roof windows and associated products across Europe. We were born in 2001, a new start up within the privately owned Danish Group VKR Holding, and a sister company to the leading company in the roof window market, VELUX.

Today, Altaterra is a European market leader within the private label segment, and proud owner of Dakea, a brand designed for smart professionals. We have sales in over 30 countries and employ more than 130 employees from 12 nationalities across Europe, who support the sales of our products.

Altaterra was founded in 2001, and today we are a European market leader within the private label segment and a proud owner of Dakea.

We have achieved this by building a team of people who work well together, who want to win, who aren't looking for routine but who look for their own solutions, who roll up their sleeves and get on with whatever is needed to get results. We don't sit around waiting for somebody else to do things for us, we don't accept standard solutions and we're willing to go the extra mile for your business when needed. We know that we can only be successful by being different and working harder.

OUR GROUP - VKR HOLDING

investing in daylight, fresh air and a better environment.

VKR is a Danish holding and investment company with the objective to create value through financial investments and ownership of companies. VKR was founded by Villum Kann Rasmussen in 1965 and is still owned by his family. The company group owns a variety of businesses, among them the leading manufacturer of roof windows, the Velux Group. For full details of the VKR companies visit vkr-holding.com.

The Group operates by establishing "model companies". It is governed by VKR Holding which shares are held by family and VILLUM FONDEN - a foundation which provides funding for non-profit projects with scientific, cultural, artistic, environmental and social. Learn more about the foundations connected to the Group.

"It is the Group's purpose to establish a number of Model Companies, which cooperate in an exemplary manner. By Model Company we mean a company working with products useful to society, which treats its customers, suppliers, employees of all categories and shareholders better than most other companies. A Model Company makes a profit, which can also finance growth and maintain financial independence."

Villum Kann Rasmussen, 1965
