Natre Vinduer

What Natre Vinduer does

Natre Vinduer AS is a Norwegian manufacturer of made-to-measure wooden windows and balcony doors, founded in 1950 and headquartered in Hunndalen, Norway. The company operates two large production facilities in Norway and employs more than 250 people, manufacturing finger-jointed and laminated wood units with optional aluminum cladding, triple-glazed glass (achieving U-values down to 0.8), and a range of opening mechanisms (top-swing, side-swing, tilt-turn, fixed-frame, lift-slide) organized under two product series — the contemporary Nordic Edge (90° profile, 115mm depth) and the traditional Klassisk (45° profile, 95mm depth). Products are engineered for Nordic climate conditions, with SINTEF-certified sealing on lift-slide doors and compliance with TEK17 building regulations and CE marking.

Natre generates revenue through unit-based sales of custom-manufactured windows and doors, with pricing determined by specification (size, glass configuration, frame material, color, opening function). The company sells exclusively through an authorized dealer network of over 300 building material stores across Norway, including all major chains (Byggmakker, XL-Bygg, Maxbo, Obs Bygg, Montér, Coop Byggmix, Byggtorget), with no direct-to-consumer sales channel. Professional customers access the company via Natre Ekspress, an online quote-and-order system. Natre is positioned as the most-sold window brand in Norwegian building material stores and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dovista Group, a Scandinavian building products conglomerate. End customers are Norwegian homeowners (new-build and renovation) and building professionals (carpenters, contractors), with attached revenue from functional glass options (solar heat-reducing, self-cleaning, safety, noise-reducing) and custom sun-shading solutions.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Schüco: German global manufacturer of aluminum and PVC window, door, and façade systems. A much larger incumbent with overlapping capabilities, though primarily serving commercial and high-end residential projects rather than Natre's building-material-dealer channel.
• Aluplast: German manufacturer of PVC window and door systems, one of Europe's largest. Competes indirectly with Natre through uPVC alternatives marketed on energy efficiency to mainstream residential buyers.
• Reynaers Aluminium: Belgian manufacturer of aluminum window, door, and curtain wall systems. Targets premium and architectural projects across Europe, providing an alternative aesthetic/technology position to Natre's wood-led offering.
• Velux: Danish roof-window and skylight giant with a broader portfolio than Natre. While focused on roof windows, Velux competes for the same residential homeowner attention and channels in Nordic markets and offers adjacent window-and-daylight solutions.

Direct peers

• Velfac: Danish manufacturer of wood/aluminum composite windows, also part of Dovista Group. Velfac serves Scandinavian markets with very similar made-to-measure, energy-focused window products, making it a near-clone peer operating one market over.
• Lian Vinduer: Norwegian window manufacturer producing custom wood and aluminum-clad windows for the residential market. Operates through a dealer network similar to Natre, competing head-to-head on energy efficiency and Nordic-condition engineering.
• Spilka Industri: Norwegian window and door manufacturer based in Førde. Competes with Natre directly in the Norwegian wood-window segment through building material retailers and professional installer channels.
• Uldal Vinduer: Norwegian manufacturer of made-to-measure wood and aluminum-clad windows sold through building material dealers. Operates in the same domestic market and channel structure as Natre, with overlapping product offerings.
• Internorm: Austrian manufacturer of wood/aluminum-clad windows and doors. Internorm is a sister company under Dovista Group, making it the closest structural and product analog to Natre, with overlapping product lines (tilt-turn, lift-slide, energy-efficient glazing).

Regional players

• Pella Corporation: US-based manufacturer of wood, wood-clad, and fiberglass windows and doors. Operates regionally in North America but offers a directly comparable product mix (made-to-measure, energy-efficient, custom clad windows) relevant for cross-market benchmarking.
