Veko Lightsystems has developed, manufactured and assembled aluminium (LED) linear lighting for more then 45 years now. Veko has always delivered its lighting systems unpackaged, encoded and pre-assembled. By doing this, Veko saves its customers at least 50% of the assembly time: our (LED) light lines are installed in a blink of the eye without any waste. By using 100% recyclable aluminium for its profiles and luminaires from the very start, Veko was already delivering sustainable lighting even before the term was invented. Furthermore, Veko lighting is durable: after years and years of service, our profiles still appear to be brand new. Renovation is a piece of cake in many cases, since profiles are left in place. New (LED) luminaires just need to be clicked into the light system, giving you lighting that is once again as good as new.
Since March 2018 Veko is a member of the Fagerhult Group.

Industrial lighting provides lighting for environments with specific requirements in terms of installation, durability and robustness. This group includes Designplan Lighting, I-Valo and Veko.
Designplan develops lighting for demanding environments such as public transport, prisons, social housing and public lighting. Their luminaires are designed to stand the test of time and feature removable switch boxes for easy maintenance and upgrades.
From the very beginning, I-Valo has been considered the best partner for luminaires designed and tested for heavy industry and extreme conditions. Their luminaires are resistant to dust particles, corrosion, unusual ambient temperatures and mechanical damage.
Nice to know about Veko:
Founded in 1975
Veko was officially founded on 8 August 1975 by Nic Veldboer and Truus Veldboer - Korver. The name Veko originated from the surnames of this couple from Heerhugowaard: 'Ve' from Veldboer and 'Ko' from Korver. This marked the start of Veko's wonderful story.
The first to offer prefab lighting and considerable assembly time savings
Nic Veldboer had been working as an electrical engineer since 1963, and was always very critical about his own work. For the sake of his customers, Mr. Veldboer was always searching for improvements in quality and efficiency. In 1975, he started prefabricating the light lines in his own workplace. Unpacking, wiring the profiles, and installing the luminaires, blind covers and reflectors was done in advance, and no longer took place on location. Nic Veldboer was convinced that this was a highly efficient approach, saving manpower and enabling higher turnover on materials. This very progressive vision was to become a great success.
Aluminium as an innovation
Furthermore, Nic Veldboer truly believed that a light system had to look new after years of service. He went searching for an alternative to existing sheet steel lighting systems, which did not meet his quality requirements. His decision to start fabricating aluminium light systems was a true innovation, eventually leading to the establishment of Veko Lightsystems. In years to come, innovation after innovation followed, always motivated by creating savings for the customer – savings in assembly time, maintenance and energy.
Over 40 years of sustainable business
Today, we would describe Nic Veldboer’s visionary product developments of the 70’s and 80’s as 'sustainable'. He was way ahead of his time. Veko can still be described as ‘Sustainable’ with a capital 'S':
Since March 2018 Veko is a member of the Fagerhult Group. With Fagerhult, Veko is strengthening its market position and expects to grow further.
