In 1933 he moved to the Netherlands and formed a ground tool company. In 1940 he moved to the United States where he formed the Douglas Machinery Company. In 1946, Henry Sonnenberg established a collaboration with Joe Hunter, who developed a new technology and equipment for continuous casting and processing of aluminum. This led to the production of lightweight aluminum slats for blinds. Hunter Douglas as we know it, had been born. Hunter Douglas blinds quickly became a leader in the US market. The product was innovative and so was its business concept for distribution. Hunter Douglas created a network of more than 1,000 independent manufacturers in the United States and Canada. They sold blinds during the day and made them to measure in their workshops in the evening. In 1956, disagreements over policy led to the sale of operations in the United States. Henry Sonnenberg moved Hunter Douglas' headquarters to Montreal, Canada. With his European machine business as a base, he concentrated on building the business for window products outside the United States. 1960-1980 Hunter Douglas expands its operations in Europe and establishes itself in Latin America and Australia. In 1969, the Hunter Douglas group was listed on the stock exchange. The shares were listed on the stock exchanges in Montreal and Amsterdam. In 1971 the headquarters of the Hunter Douglas group were moved to Rotterdam, the Netherlands and Hunter Douglas NV became the global Group Holding Company. In 1976, Hunter Douglas bought back his previous US business. In 1978, Hunter Douglas bought the Swedish Alingsås-based blind company Turnils and eventually Hunter Douglas Scandinavia was founded in Sweden. In 2013, Hunter Douglas Scandinavia and Turnils AB merged to form a company, Hunter Douglas Scandinavia AB. We work in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and the Baltic states. The company's head office is located in Alingsås.
