Henry Sonnenberg founds his machine tool distribution, later manufacturing, company in Düsseldorff, Germany.
Henry Sonnenberg moved the company to Rotterdam in the Netherlands to escape the impending war and began the company’s Dutch heritage. This led to the establishment of the Luxaflex Window Fashions brand.
Henry Sonnenberg established a joint venture with Joe Hunter, a gifted inventor, which developed new technology and equipment to design the modern aluminium venetian blind with its thin bounce back slats. This led to the establishment of the worldwide Hunter Douglas Group which remains the market-leading group.
The Hunter Douglas Group expands its global dominance by moving into Australia and establishing its site in the Sydney suburb of Rydalmere where it still stands today.
Hunter Douglas in Australia quickly achieved a predominant position in the Venetian Blind industry, rapidly expanding its range to include Wall Cladding, Insect Screen Doors, Slimfold Screen, Aluminium Awnings, Sundrape Woven Aluminium Drapery and Drapery Track, under several well-known brands such as Mello-Lite and Permalum.
Hunter Douglas launches its Luxaflex Window Fashions brand in Australia, introducing Australians to the Dutch heritage brand and the range of exceptionally durable and stylish window covering solutions.
Hunter Douglas, the company behind the Luxaflex brand, purchases Sunweave Textiles and moves the plant to Rydalmere where it remains today creating many of the fabrics used in the Luxaflex Roller Blind and Canvas Awning ranges.
