The VELUX Group is proud to hold the title sponsorship of VELUX 5 OCEANS for the second time. The solo around-the-world ocean race is renowned as the longest, toughest event for any individual in any sport. It pushes the limits of what is humanly possible just as the VELUX Group challenges traditions in the building industry when we promote new thinking about Sustainable Living.
The spirit, values and nature of the race and its skippers are similar to those of the VELUX Group’s. Facing all the extremes of nature the skippers need to stay focused on their final destination despite physical exhaustion and mental fatigue. Not only does this take surplus energy to do, it also requires durable gear and resourcefulness.
As a manufacturer of roof windows, the VELUX Group employs creativity and an innovative approach to the development of new products and business strategies. Just as the skippers and their boats, our products are tested to the limit when exposed to all kinds of weather.
VELUX 5 OCEANS is a unique platform to reach our international target audience. The sponsorship and an intricate set up for generating media content and hospitality opportunities during the race represent a new and engaging form of marketing. This is yet another way of bringing new perspectives into our business.
