THE ART OF WINDOW STYLING

The Australian Window Furnishings division sources its products primarily from the Components business unit, or our overseas affiliates, and specialises in the assembly/fabrication of premium-end, custom-made window covering products. These products are distributed under the premium brand of Luxaflex® and Hunter Douglas Architectural. Private label brands (Vogue, Premier, Betta and Boniwell) are sold through licensed independent operators, as are some unbranded products. The assembly facilities are based at Rydalmere, NSW and Yatala, Queensland.

COMPONENT SALES

Our Components business sells components it sources, or produces in our Metals & Textiles facilities, to independently owned fabricators, who assemble the products into a finished good for sale via a retailer or direct sale. Selected retailers market their products under the Sunway brand. Head Office and the Metals & Textiles facilities are based at Rydalmere, NSW.

Based at Carrum Downs VIC, the Bricos business sells locally and internationally sourced fabrics and components using the same business model as the Components business. The products are marketed under the specialised brands of Mermet, Turnils and SunShadow.
