Monodraught Ltd - Monodraught Acquired by VKR Holding
Monodraught Ltd who have achieved tremendous success
with their Windcatcher ventilation system and the
SunPipe system, is changing hands and will be
incorporated in the Danish company of VKR Holding, which
owns brands such as VELUX roof windows and VELFAC and
Rationel vertical windows as well as Window Master
automatic window openers and thermal solar companies.
Monodraught established in 1974 under the management of
Prof. Terry Payne has now developed into an innovative
and successful supplier of solar driven natural
ventilation products to complement its renowned
Windcatcher Ventilation systems. Terry Payne will
continue as Managing Director of Monodraught Ltd with
the same Management Team and their aim is to continue
the strong growth trajectory in the future years.
“Over 30 years we have built Monodraught up to be the
leader in the UK market for Natural Ventilation, and
demonstrated that our Windcatcher Natural Ventilation
systems offer an ideal alternative to traditional air
conditioning and mechanical ventilation,” states Terry
Payne. He added “our close dialogue with Architects and
Consultants has meant that our products cater for the
natural ventilation requirements of almost all types of
property. With the incorporation into VKR Holding,
Monodraught will be in a position to offer an even
broader and more comprehensive product range of natural
ventilation products not least through our association
with WindowMaster, but also with the entire VKR Group.
At the same time, we will gain access to resources that
will ensure the sustained development of the company’s
activities particularly in our new solar driven products
division, and ultimately this will lead to capacity for
great international expansion.”
Leif Jensen, the CEO of VKR Holding commented “We
believe that Natural Ventilation will be increasingly
important in future building design. Systems based on
intelligent control of natural ventilation channels,
such as windows and ventilation turrets, have evolved
into a strong alternative to traditional air
conditioning and mechanical ventilation.
