VBH Holding GmbH continued to show positive business development in 2024. This is due to the company’s strategy of focusing on international markets. The door and window hardware supplier has profitable subsidiaries in more than 20 countries.
The VBH Group was able to expand its trading volume in almost all markets and strengthen cooperation with customers and suppliers.
The Group’s international growth strategy has been very successful and we will therefore continue to drive it forward.
This is the declared aim of Lubomir Bohac, who took over the position of CEO of VBH Holding on 1 April 2025, having previously been Regional Head of the Central-Eastern Europe region and Managing Director of the VBH subsidiary in the Czech Republic.
While all VBH international subsidiaries have been performing well, often in challenging conditions, the German construction industry market has remained particularly sluggish.
In this difficult environment, VBH Holding’s German sales subsidiary, VBH Deutschland GmbH, has been struggling for some time with falling sales and rising costs. Despite intensive efforts, the company has been unable to operate profitably. As a rapid improvement is not in sight, the German subsidiary is now re-organising itself as part of insolvency proceedings under self-administration.
“The self-administration proceedings only affect our activities in Germany. All of our international subsidiaries, including VBH (GB), have been sustainably profitable and growing for years. We are confident that we will also be able to make VBH Deutschland GmbH profitable again by re-organising and concentrating on the profitable business areas,” explains Mr Bohac.
VBH offers window and door manufacturers a complete range of products and system solutions for the manufacture and installation of windows and doors. The product range is a mix of those from third-party hardware brands, and products from its own greenteQ brand.
The VBH Group is present in more than 20 countries with its own subsidiaries. The company employs around 1,600 people worldwide, and generated sales of around €500 million last year.
Peter Rowlands, Acting Managing Director at VBH (GB) Ltd adds, “The UK market can rest assured that VBH (GB) Ltd continues to flourish, providing world-class customer service and hardware products to door and window manufacturers and installers.”
