Below you will find some important milestones.

1993
2001
Marcel Vinck can be found on the internet for the first time, with his ownwebsite: www.marcelvinck.com.
2004
Start of a new “Vinck” year, with a brand new website, at the old address: www.marcelvinck.com.
2004
Even more new, to kick off 2004 with a bang; a new slogan: ---- Let's “Vinck” Twice. ---- Where does this come from? Quite logically, from “let's think twice”. Which stands for “thinking twice”, which you would do well to do. After all, a window accounts for a large part of the quality in your home. Beauty combined with quality.
2005
VINCK windows and doors strengthens its team with a first dynamic and experienced employee.
2006
This year, we are having a new commercial building constructed where we will establish our new workshop, showroom, and offices. Due to continuous growth, our team has been expanded with a new experienced employee with years of experience in the trade. This step was also taken to further enhance punctuality and service. A pleasant feature for the customer is that the managers always work alongside the team themselves, for both fabrication and installation.
2006
In the meantime, we have moved to our new workshop. You can now find us at Nobels-Peelmanstraat 11 in Sint-Niklaas.Due to extremely high demand, the showroom could not yet be completed. This is scheduled for the spring of 2007. From then on, our customers will be able to find an overview of our products there.
2007
A logo deserves a refresh; a sleek and powerful logo that continues the line of our company and products. Based on this idea, work continued on the advertising on our company vehicles, workwear, showroom, etc., merging everything into one and the same style.
2008
To serve our customers optimally and provide the best service, we will be strengthening our team in the near future with an additional employee for planning, site supervision, and the development of new projects. From then on, our VINCK team will consist of 11 employees, who are 100% committed to responding even better to service and punctuality. Every link within our team forms an important link on the road to a high-quality product.
VINCK windows and doors currently consists of 10 employees, with the team divided across invoicing, automation, sales, the internal team, and the external team. Every day, we do everything we can to uphold punctuality and service for our customers as our top priority. Together with the dedication and dynamism of our employees, we ensure quality and a solid, meticulous finish using products of the highest standard.
Together with Reynaers, as a trendsetter, we are starting to use the REYNAPRO window software. Within our company, Reynapro will also be used to control our sawing machine and machining center. Accuracy, thanks to state-of-the-art computer-controlled techniques.
2010
VINCK windows & doors is equipping its workshop with a new SBZ 140 CNC machining center. The workshop has also been supplemented with a new automatic measuring line for glazing beads. This was carried out in conjunction with the reorganization of our workshop to further optimize the organization.
VINCK continues to invest constantly in growth and modern technologies. This has also led to the acquisition of a crawler crane for crane work in hard-to-reach places. This provides additional assistance for jobs that are not directly accessible with our standard crane truck.
2011
In the meantime, the shell is ready to be made windproof. After this phase, the new section can be put into use. The production line and manufactured windows awaiting installation will also be located here. The woodworking section (including the interior finishing of our MDF windows) will also take place in the new building.
VINCK is making all the necessary preparations for the expansion of their company building. This will expand production and space for finished products by 50%.
We love a challenge. That is why various banking institutions have been supplied with windows and doors from VINCK. We are therefore proud to add Belfius, BKCP, and Fortis to our client list. This is not about standard production, but rather custom work according to the requirements and tailored to the customer. Bullet-proof, anti-vandalism glazing, etc., are therefore not unfamiliar terms to our company.
2012
Glazing and windows are becoming increasingly larger and heavier. We always want to support our customers in making their housing dreams come true. That is why VINCK is investing in a new crane truck that is much heavier than the previous one. With this, we can tackle jumbo-sized windows and glass!
Due to expansion, our offices are being enlarged and redesigned to ensure maximum optimal operation for planning, quotations, and production.
2016
In a world where everything revolves around speed and high performance, this also impacts the tools we work with. We are investing in a brand-new and powerful server, which gives our IT infrastructure a serious boost. As a result, our calculation and planning software, among other things, runs under optimal conditions.
2017
Due to the increasing demand for our steel-look windows type SL 38 with mullions, we are investing in a new sawing machine. This allows us to easily cut mullions to size. In most cases, the glazing for these windows is installed in the frame directly from our workshop. This enables us to guarantee utmost precision.
The investment in a specialized lifting system ensures even more order and overview of our parts and stock. For this, we called upon the company DDD for a lean lift.
2024
The consultation room and showroom are undergoing a thorough makeover in two phases. The latest trends in windows, doors, and verandas have also been incorporated. In the consultation room, a clean and classy look has been chosen. It is the ideal spot to put together your new windows, doors, or conservatory over a cup of coffee and an inspiring conversation.
2026
We continue to invest in state-of-the-art techniques that take our production to a higher level. This time with the purchase of a new CNC-controlled corner press. This results in perfect corner joints for our aluminium windows, doors, and sliding windows. This machine forms an important new link within our existing CNC machine park.
