Taylor and Stirling Celebrates 80 Years of Custom Blinds, Curtains and Awnings in Australia
Australian window furnishing manufacturer Taylor and Stirling marks 80 years in business in 2026. The company manufactures custom curtains, roller blinds, honeycomb blinds, plantation shutters, motorised blinds, outdoor blinds and awnings in Ballarat and Tasmania, with free measure and quote across regional Victoria and southern Tasmania.
Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, 4th Jul 2026 — Taylor & Stirling, one of Australia’s longest-running window furnishing manufacturers, is marking 80 years of business in 2026. The family company has been measuring, making and fitting curtains and blinds for homes across regional Victoria since 1946, and today runs showrooms in Ballarat and Huonville, Tasmania, along with its own manufacturing workrooms in Ballarat and on Bruny Island.
Eighty years is a long time in any trade, and the company has watched window furnishings change from simple holland blinds and heavy drapes to motorised blinds that respond to the weather. What has not changed, according to the team, is the basic job: keeping heat in during a Ballarat winter, keeping glare out of a north-facing living room, and making sure the finished product actually fits the window it was measured for.
A Full Indoor Range, Made to Measure
Taylor & Stirling’s indoor range covers just about every window covering a home might need. Roller blinds remain the biggest seller, and the company makes them in every configuration customers ask for. Sunscreen blinds filter glare while keeping the view, blockout blinds darken bedrooms and home theatres completely, and dual roller systems combine both fabrics on a single bracket so a homeowner can switch between privacy and light through the day.
Honeycomb blinds, also known as cellular blinds, have become one of the fastest-growing parts of the business, particularly in colder areas. The pockets of air trapped inside the cell structure act as insulation across the glass, and the company reports that many Ballarat and Hobart customers now fit them specifically to cut heating bills rather than for looks alone.
The soft furnishing side of the business is where the company’s history shows. Custom curtains, sheers, swags and tails, roman blinds and matching pelmets are still cut and sewn in the company’s own workrooms rather than ordered from an overseas catalogue. Curtain tracks, including motorised curtain tracks for wide openings and hard-to-reach windows, are fitted by the company’s own installers. Full details of the indoor range are available on the Taylor & Stirling curtains and blinds page at https://www.taylorandstirling.com.au/home/indoor-curtains-blinds/
The range is rounded out by plantation shutters, venetian blinds in timber and aluminium, vertical blinds for sliding doors and large glass panels, panel glides, and bamboo and natural fibre weaves. Skylight blinds and coverings for raked or angled windows are also made to order, an area where off-the-shelf products rarely work.
Wide Windows Are No Longer a Problem
One area the company has invested in over recent years is wide-span blinds. Modern homes in the region are being built with larger openings, and standard blind hardware simply does not span them. Taylor & Stirling now manufactures extra-wide roller blinds and extra-wide honeycomb blinds as single units across openings that would previously have needed two or three blinds with light gaps between them. For very large spans, motorisation removes the strain of lifting heavy fabric by hand.
Motorisation Moves From Luxury to Standard
Motorised blinds were a niche product a decade ago. Today the company fits automation systems from Somfy, Alpha and Automate across most of its product range, from single roller blinds to whole-home installations linked to smart home platforms. Timers, sun sensors and phone control mean blinds can close against the afternoon sun or drop for privacy at dusk without anyone touching them. The company says motorisation requests now come as often from retirees who want to stop climbing behind furniture to reach cords as they do from smart home enthusiasts.
Outdoor Living, Built for Real Weather
The outdoor side of the business has grown steadily as households spend more on alfresco areas. Taylor & Stirling supplies and installs outdoor blinds, patio blinds and alfresco blinds in track-guided and motorised configurations, including Ziptrak-style side channel systems that lock fabric down against wind. Screeny outdoor blinds, a European-engineered zip screen system, are offered for openings where wind resistance and a clean finish matter most.
Awnings make up the other half of the outdoor range. Folding arm awnings extend shade over patios and decks without posts, while retractable awnings, fixed canopies and window awnings handle everything from shopfronts to west-facing bedroom windows. The company also installs louvred and retractable roof systems for customers who want a fully covered outdoor room. The complete outdoor collection can be viewed at https://www.taylorandstirling.com.au/outdoor-blinds-shutters-awnings/
Products in this range are chosen for the conditions the company’s customers actually live in. Ballarat’s frosts, the winds that come off the Southern Ocean into Tasmania’s Huon Valley, and bushfire-zone building requirements all shape what the company is willing to put its name on.
“People sometimes ask why we have lasted eighty years when so many competitors have come and gone,” a spokesperson for Taylor & Stirling said. “The honest answer is that we measure everything ourselves, we make most of it ourselves, and we are still here when something needs adjusting five years later. In this trade, the follow-up is the business.”
Free Measure and Quote Across Two States
Taylor & Stirling offers a free measure and quote service across its Victorian service area, which includes Ballarat, Buninyong, Daylesford, Creswick, Clunes, Hepburn Springs, Trentham and surrounding towns, and across southern Tasmania, including Hobart, Kingston, Huonville, Cygnet, Margate, Blackmans Bay and the Channel region. A consultant visits the home with fabric and material samples, measures each opening, and provides a fixed quotation with no obligation.
Both showrooms display working examples of the major product lines, including plantation shutters, honeycomb blinds, folding arm awnings and motorised systems, so customers can operate the products before ordering. The company also handles repairs and maintenance on its own installations, a service that has kept some customer relationships running across three generations of the same family.
The business also serves commercial clients, supplying anti-ligature window furnishings for health facilities and commercial-grade systems from Markilux, HelioScreen, Silent Gliss, Vertilux and Verosol.
For homes with tilt-and-turn or European-style windows, the company’s Perfect Fit range clips honeycomb, roller and venetian blinds directly to the window frame without drilling, keeping the glass line clean and the blind moving with the sash. It is a small detail, but it is the kind of problem that a mass-market retailer will not solve and a local manufacturer can, which is largely how the company has kept its place in the market for eight decades.
Anyone planning new window furnishings, replacing tired blinds or building an outdoor entertaining area can browse the full range and book a free measure and quote through the Taylor & Stirling website at https://www.taylorandstirling.com.au/

United States, 22nd Aug 2026 — Managing a modern industrial or commercial facility often requires more than completing a construction project. From engineering and equipment installation to automation, facility transitions, and ongoing maintenance, organizations may need multiple specialized teams to work together without disrupting operations. MTLI Group of Companies is addressing this challenge through an integrated infrastructure model designed to bring these requirements under one accountable structure.
Founded in 1982, MTLI Group has spent more than four decades developing infrastructure solutions for organizations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. With more than 15,000 completed projects, 100+ professionals, and a network of 800+ vendors and partners, the company is positioned to support complex programs involving multiple facilities, trades, locations, and project phases.
“Complex facilities require coordination long after the first construction activity begins,” said Mitchell Learning, CEO of MTLI Group. “Our integrated structure allows us to remain involved across multiple stages so clients can approach infrastructure development and change as one connected program.”
Reducing Fragmentation Across Facility Programs
One of the challenges associated with major facility projects is coordination. A construction contractor may complete one phase, an automation specialist may handle another, and separate providers may be responsible for installation, relocation, maintenance, or recovery.
MTLI Group takes a different approach by combining these capabilities within a broader infrastructure platform. Engineering, project management, construction, installation, automation, transitions, and lifecycle services can be coordinated through a single delivery structure.
This model is designed to provide clients with greater visibility into project schedules, costs, safety requirements, and execution while reducing the need to manage numerous independent workstreams.
Building Infrastructure Around Operational Requirements
The growing adoption of automation is changing the way warehouses and distribution facilities are designed and operated. Warehouse automation can involve sophisticated equipment and technology, but successful implementation also depends on the surrounding physical infrastructure.
As a warehouse automation company, MTLI Group supports projects where automation needs to be considered alongside construction, installation, electrical systems, controls, equipment placement, and facility operations. This integrated perspective can help organizations approach automation as part of the overall facility rather than as a separate technology project.
MTLI’s role can extend from engineering and planning through installation and commissioning, helping coordinate the transition from project design to operational infrastructure.
Supporting Commercial and Industrial Development
Facility requirements can vary significantly between commercial properties, manufacturing environments, distribution centers, and logistics operations. MTLI Group provides construction capabilities designed to accommodate these different environments.
As a commercial construction company, the organization supports commercial facility projects, modifications, buildouts, and infrastructure improvements. Its capabilities as a commercial general contractor allow it to coordinate construction activities with other project requirements and specialized trades.
MTLI also provides design build construction services, connecting engineering and construction considerations within the same project framework. This approach can help streamline communication between planning and field execution while creating clearer accountability throughout development.
For manufacturing and industrial environments, MTLI operates as an industrial construction company, supporting projects that may require coordination between structural work, equipment installation, automation, electrical systems, and ongoing facility operations.
Infrastructure Support Beyond the Build
For MTLI Group, facility delivery does not necessarily end when construction is complete. Buildings and industrial environments require continued attention as equipment ages, operational requirements change, and businesses expand or relocate.
Through its capabilities as a facility management company, MTLI supports ongoing maintenance, inspections, repairs, equipment services, troubleshooting, and infrastructure optimization.
The company also provides facility transition and asset recovery services for organizations moving, consolidating, expanding, or redesigning operations. Equipment and infrastructure can be dismantled, relocated, recovered, reinstalled, or redeployed as part of broader transition programs.
About MTLI Group of Companies
MTLI Group of Companies is an integrated industrial and commercial infrastructure platform serving the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Founded in 1982, the company specializes in engineering, automation, construction, installation, logistics, facility transitions, asset recovery, and lifecycle support.
MTLI’s experience includes more than 15,000 completed projects, supported by 100+ professionals and a network of 800+ trusted vendors and partners. The company is structured to manage multi-site, multi-trade, and multi-phase programs while maintaining a centralized approach to project accountability.
Rather than limiting its role to traditional contracting, MTLI works as a long-term infrastructure partner, supporting clients from early planning and design through installation, maintenance, transitions, and ongoing performance optimization.
