History

The company was founded in 1914 in Hoboken, New Jersey by Hans K. Lorentzen, a Danish immigrant who originally started out as a tool and die maker. Lorentzen introduced standardization, vertical integration, metal manufacturing and assembly lines to the window blinds industry.
In 1993, Levolor was acquired by Newell. The company was sold to Hunter Douglas, a Dutch custom window blind manufacturer, in July 2016 for a reported US$260 million.
