History

History is the past from which we learn, while Homeco sees the future we are creating now.

Past and future

Development entails lifting our gaze and moving forward, sometimes step by step, while at other times by leaps and bounds. But it is also about looking back, learning from the past and applying this knowledge to meet the needs and demands of the future.

We are proud of our history, and in the future we will be able to look back at our past with pride. We believe in the future, and we envision homes overflowing with our products.

Most stories have already been told, but the story of Homeco has just begun.
