Originally Velo is a manufacturer of washing machines. As from 1928 its headquarters are in Barendrecht. For the production of the wooden tubs it has a wood working department. In this department the company manufactures other wooden products, like furniture.

After WW II Velo also starts the production of wooden radio cabinets for third parties, but also for its own brand Velora. The Velora models use the chassis of Philips and NSF models. The Dutch radio manufacturer Waldorp takes care of mounting the chassis in the cabinets. The Velora radios are sold in the more than 100 Velo shops in the Netherlands.

In the mid fifties Velo stops manufacturing its own radios and continues to sell Philips equipment in its shops.
