35 years together
For 35 years, FAKRO has been crafting Polish roof windows found in homes around the world. They bring natural light into attics, transforming them into spaces of everyday life - full of peace, joy, and shared stories. These windows let rooms evolve with the dreams of those who live in them, turning a house into a home we’re eager to share with loved ones. In a world that’s always changing, it is relationships that remain the driving force behind everything we’ve done over the years.
Starting point
In the early 1990s, Poland’s economy was undergoing a profound transformation. The foundations of a free market were being laid, and entrepreneurship became rooted in independent decision-making and responsibility. It was in this environment that FAKRO was founded - a company built on patience, consistency, and long-term thinking. From its very first years, FAKRO believed that a lasting market position is earned over time through a clear vision, not by following temporary trends.
35 years together. Partnership as the foundation for growth
A model that builds stability of FAKRO
From the very beginning, FAKRO’s growth has been built on long-term relationships. Collaboration with architects, contractors, distributors, and customers has shaped both the product range and quality standards. This approach has allowed the company to establish a strong, stable position, expand its operations, and consistently pursue its vision over the decades.
Light that transforms everyday life
One of the most visible impacts of FAKRO’s innovations has been the way attics are used. Roof windows have transformed them from purely technical spaces into bright, functional areas of the home. Natural light and fresh air enhance comfort, influence daily routines, and shape how interiors are enjoyed. FAKRO solutions support everyday life, adapting to the evolving needs of modern families.
Trust built over years
Relationships have been a cornerstone of FAKRO’s development from the very beginning. Decades of collaboration with partners have made it possible to create Polish roof windows that have been installed in homes around the world for 35 years. The dedication of designers, distributors, and builders has allowed us to consistently meet the real needs of users. Over time, FAKRO solutions have been selected for countless projects, steadily strengthening the company’s market position. Trust has been earned through stability, commitment to quality, and consistent decision-making. Today, this shared legacy is celebrated through meetings and anniversary events, highlighting the importance of relationships and guiding the company’s continued growth both in Poland and abroad.
From Poland to global markets
The expansion of operations has been a natural stage in FAKRO’s growth. Its presence in multiple markets has enabled investment in production facilities, technologies, and product development, while also allowing the company to compete effectively in the global roof window industry. International growth was never an end in itself but a result of a carefully defined strategy. FAKRO has stayed true to its roots, balancing local responsibility with global ambition.
Innovation as part of development
For years, FAKRO’s product development has followed a practical approach to innovation. The engineering team continuously works on solutions that enhance technical performance, durability, and functionality. Each year, new technologies are introduced based on real user and market needs. Over time, the company’s offerings have expanded from a single window type to a comprehensive portfolio, including solutions for pitched and flat roofs, vertical joinery, loft ladders, and complementary systems.
