JELD-WEN Door Solutions was established in 1981. At that time, the activity of the company was the production and sale of pinewood products, primarily furniture.
In 1984, Vest-Wood began manufacturing interior panelled doors in spruce and pine and later on, Vest-Wood added interior flush doors and exterior doors to its product range.
During the 90s, Vest-Wood followed a focused strategy on expanding its door business in the Nordic countries and Germany. This was achieved through a combination of organic growth and acquisition-led growth. Since 2000, the Vest-Wood Group has concentrated operations around the door business.
Vest-Wood was listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange in 1993. In the spring of 2002 a consortium of investors acquired Vest-Wood and delisted the company from Copenhagen stock exchange.
In 2006 Vest-Wood was bought by the American door and Window producer JELD-WEN Inc, and changed name to JELD-WEN Door Solutions in October 2007.
