In 1946, richtte Joe Hunter en Henry Sonnenberg een nieuw bedrijf op, genaamd the Hunter Douglas Machinery Corporation. Door het combineren van hun expertise en kennis wilden ze samen een nieuw verwerkingsproces voor lichtgewicht aluminium ontwikkelen. Binnen een paar jaar leidde hun samenwerking echter tot de uitvinding van een product dat de raambekledingsmarkt voor altijd zou veranderen; de horizontale aluminium jaloezie. Deze horizontale jaloezie werd in 1951 geïntroduceerd in Europa onder de naam Luxaflex®. De functionaliteit en het design van de jaloezieën maakte dat het eerste echte alternatief voor gordijnen al snel zeer geliefd werd onder vele Europeanen. Als erkend Europees marktleider zette Luxaflex® haar geschiedenis van ontwikkeling en innovatie door tot in de 21ste eeuw. Het merk bleef continu nieuwe productlijnen toevoegen aan haar portfolio, en won vele prestigieuze prijzen voor baanbrekende innovaties
