Vetedy in a few words

VETEDYは、特許を取得したSoftline& Technideck二つのデッキシステムとTechniclicクラッディングシステムの唯一の発明者であり生産者です。

1999年にVETEDYが設立されて以来、これら三つのシステムの耐久性と技術的性能、および製品精度は年月を経る毎に証明されてきました。

現在VETEDY Groupは、ルクセンブルク、ベルギー、カメルーン、インドネシアの4か国に生産工場を持ち、世界40ヶ国以上に販売拠点を有する国際企業へと成長しました。

 

The beginning of the story

1998年、VETEDYの創設者は建築家から「Garden floors」をデザインしてほしいと依頼されます。この時、市場にはビスを見せないウッドデッキシステムが存在しないことに気付きました。

その後、建築家の要望どおり樹脂性のデッキがクライアントの庭に設置され、このデッキは当然従前どおりのビス留めれされたデッキでしたが、創設者はこの結果に満足できませんでした。

この一件で「Garden floors」すなわち屋外デッキのフローリングというアイディアを閃いた創設者は、1999年12月20日にVETEDYを設立します。

(VETEDYの名はVeronique、Terry、Dylanの3人の家族の最初の2文字から構成されています)

その後、ビスを見せずにデッキボードを固定するシステムを開発するために多くの月日が研究開発に費やされました。

VETEDYの目標は二つありました:天然木のノンビスウッドデッキの需要を生み出し、その製品を屋内のフローリングと同等の高品質で耐久性のあるものにすることです。

当初は地元の需要に応えるだけのつもりでしたが、すぐに複数の顧客からさらなるビジネスの拡大を提案されることになります。

 

Vetedy’s international development

First international exhibition, first success. The idea of developing Vetedy internationally takes shape. Thanks to a lot of research, exchanges and especially the support of a person who has made Africa his passion, the idea of associating wood with the fastening system starts to make sense. It was especially important to find wood species that are naturally durable for outdoor and above all have an exceptional stability to overcome the constraints of an hidden and non-mechanical fixing.

After several conclusive tests, Vetedy decided to set up in Africa in order to control the quality of its wood supplies. In parallel, a small makeshift production workshop at the back of a carpentry shop is set up and a partnership with a plastic-composite injector is established for the production of the fastening clips. It is after long months of research, tests, doubts but above all perseverance and determination that the Softline system was patented in 2001. The promotion of a complete decking system with hidden fasteners then took off.

The pursuit of internationalization and expansion of the product range

The growing demand for Softline decking has led to the need of diversification of the supplies and, above all, an expansion of the range. Thus, Vetedy decides to establish itself in Indonesia and to build its production plant in Belgium.

A few years later, the Techniclic product, a hidden fastening system for wood cladding, the little brother of the Softline system, was born. The cladding solution is a big hit with Vetedy’s current customers.

The latest innovation is the Technideck, an intuitive aluminum decking system that has all the qualities needed to revolutionize the decking world once again.
