Since our inception, we have been committed to creating the finest window furnishings by blending craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Join us as we celebrate our 50-year anniversary and reflect on our history.
In 1974, Norman Nien (1944-2011) founded Nien Made, beginning as a small family business with a vision to produce high-quality window furnishings. Our founders believed that with meticulous attention to detail and a strong focus on customer satisfaction, they could create products that would stand the test of time. These early years were marked by hard work, dedication, and a commitment to craftsmanship.
The 1980s and 1990s saw significant expansion with new facilities opening to meet increasing demand. We invested in advanced manufacturing techniques and expanded our product range, setting new standards in the industry. Our focus remained on delivering superior products that combined functionality with aesthetic appeal.
The turn of the millennium brought a wave of technological advancements, and Norman was at the forefront of embracing these changes. We introduced innovative products like the SmartDrape Shades, which revolutionised the market with their blend of elegance and functionality. Our commitment to research and development ensured that we stayed ahead of industry trends, continually offering cutting-edge solutions to our customers.
At Norman, we understand the importance of sustainability and environmental responsibility. Over the years, we have implemented eco-friendly practices in our manufacturing processes and sourced materials from sustainable suppliers. Our dedication to quality and sustainability has earned us numerous certifications and accolades, reinforcing our reputation as a trusted leader in the window furnishings industry.
From 2016 to 2020, Norman was honoured with 50 global awards, recognising our commitment to sustainability and excellence in this field.
In 2019, Norman expanded its global presence by launching a subsidiary in Australia, introducing custom-made window furnishings to Australian homes. Our dedication to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction quickly established us as a trusted name in the market.
From humble beginnings, Norman has grown into a respected global brand with a presence in over 100 countries. Our success across diverse markets is a testament to the universal appeal of our designs and the trust our customers worldwide place in us.
As we celebrate our 50-year anniversary, we are excited about the future. Our vision remains focused on innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction. We will continue to push the boundaries of design and technology, ensuring that our products meet the evolving needs of our customers. Here’s to the next 50 years of excellence at Norman!
