Origin of Horton Kirby
In 1995, the company Horton Kirby Poland Sp. z o.o. was established The main goal of the company was to scroll rauhfaser wallpapers and to sell them. In order to implement this assumption, the company invested in specialized wallpaper rewinding machines and conducted such activity for 8 years. During this period, she was the leader of rauhfaser wallpaper sales in Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Lithuania.
Changes in ownership and further development
In 2000, ownership changes were introduced in the company. The owners decided to enter the next phase of the company's development. It was decided to expand the company's activity in the field of producing wallpaper samplers in sets of various types and in any configurations. It was also decided to create a department dealing with the production of textile samples in the form of templates. What is more, the textile department began the production of draperies, curtains and other haberdashery accessories related to textiles.
Expansion with a new production hall
The first few years of producing wallpaper templates convinced the management of the need to increase the production area, hence it was decided to expand the company for the first time. In this way a modern production hall was built in 2006. At the same time, decisions were made to expand the activity related to the production of wallpaper templates to the production of wallpaper catalogues in hard covers. In order to achieve the new goal, the company invested in specialized bookbinding machines and significantly increased the production capacity of wallpaper catalogues.
