There are several major companies that manufacture custom window treatments. In alphabetical order they are: Bali, Comfortex, Graber, Hunter Douglas, Kirsch and Levolor. Most people are fairly unaware of the brand names in this industry. It is nothing like automobiles or other well known consumer products. And, to be sure, there are other smaller manufacturers that produce cheaper, ready-made blinds and shades. For example, if you went to the Home Depot and bought a ten dollar mini blind, it is most likely made in China by some faceless, unknown company.
