Gliderol Garage Doors, an Australian Company, have 26 factories dotted around the world. Gliderol hold the world patent for the continuous curtain roller garage door, which it has been making since the 1960s. In 1986, it opened a factory in County Durham U.K. and has become a major player in the U.K. roller door market. Due to continued success, it opened a new purpose-made factory in the year 2000 with capacity to manufacture 6000 roller garage doors per month. In 2009, it launched the Safe-T-Glide and Insul-Glide Gliderol Sectional garage door and the Roll-A-Glide Gliderol Insulated roller garage door.
