Since 1935, Hörmann, headquartered in Steinhagen, Germany, has been passionate about technology and quality.  In 1952, after purchasing the rights from American, Glenn Berry, to produce a new type of up-and-over garage door, Hörmann launched the first up-and-over garage doors on the market, laying the foundation for Hörmann as it exists today. 

Hörmann’s next trend-setting development after the up-and-over garage door, was space-saving, commercial overhead sectional roll-up doors.  In 1976, a new factory was founded in Brockhagen, Germany, which kicked off the industrial production of commercial overhead sectional doors at Hörmann.  

Today, Hörmann North America carries on the commercial overhead sectional door tradition started in Germany decades ago.  Whether plans call for pan or sandwich door designs, we have a model to match the specifications.  Trend-setting design elements such as our proprietary blend polyurethane insulation and FingerGuard™ pinch-resistant section joints, plus options like our exclusive Galaxy Paint System and  special panel coating process, speak to the quality you can expect from Hörmann.
