history
Emil Schenker founded the company in 1881. The first headquarters of Schenker Storen was in Schmiedengasse in Schönenwerd . Emil Schenker produced blinds there and began series production straight away. Schenker's blinds were patented on April 9, 1895. Around 1900 the first factory was built on Schulstrasse in Schönenwerd. Thanks to strong growth even in difficult economic times, Schenker Storen AG was created . Today, Schenker Storen produces slat blinds and roller shutters at its headquarters in Schönenwerd, while fabric and sun blinds (awnings) are manufactured at the plant in Thanvillé, France.
