What Luvema does
Luvema BV is a privately held Dutch manufacturer of aluminium thresholds (dorpels), drop sills (valdorpels), and aluminium profiles for the construction industry, founded in 1975 and headquartered in Wageningen, Netherlands. The company operates a single production facility and serves four specialized vertical markets: the door industry (deurenindustrie), the plastic window frame industry (kunststof kozijnen industrie), renovation (renovatie), and the timber/joinery industry (timmerindustrie). Its product portfolio centres on aluminium profiles and sills — including custom-made (maatwerk) lengths, standard trade lengths, and anodized variants — supplemented by the proprietary ISOWEL® line of glass-fibre-reinforced sills introduced in 2015. The valdorpel range is offered in multiple fire, smoke, and sound resistance classifications, supported by KOMO certifications on profiles and dorpels and a supply partnership with Pyroplex for fire-resistant seals.
Luvema distributes exclusively through the professional recognized trade (professionele erkende vakhandel), with a dealer network of 18+ named trade partners across the Netherlands. Products are ordered through dedicated B2B portals (Dorpels bestellen, Profielen bestellen, Valdorpels bestellen) and downloaded DXF technical drawings support installer and fabricator workflows. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time unit sales of physical components, priced on a per-unit basis with a 4% price increase announced for aluminium dorpels, profiles, and anodizing services effective 1 June 2026. The company markets through its website (luvema.nl) and an email newsletter; no paid digital channels, social media presence, or direct-to-consumer sales are evident. Luvema remains a founder- or family-owned Dutch BV with no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, and no parent company.
