About Curtition, Manufacturer and Supplier of Accordion Doors and Operable Walls

Curtition began manufacturing folding doors in 1949. From humble beginnings as a regional source for standard closet and wood folding partitions, the company progressed to sole supplier status for major national chain retailers such as Montgomery Ward and Sears. Over the course of its first two decades, Curtition was, at various times, a division of Mobil Oil Corporation and Plicoflex. In the early 1980's its focus changed from retail to exclusive emphasis on architecturally specified accordion doors and accordion partitions with documented sound attenuation properties.

Curtition moved to a modern new 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility in southern Wisconsin, and in 2000, acquired an operable wall manufacturer to augment its product offerings. Toronto based ARPRO Corporation had been manufacturing and marketing operable walls for well over twenty years. Since then, manufacturing facilities have been moved to Curtition's Wisconsin factory and consolidated with the accordion door business.

In 2008 Kwik-Wall Company acquired Curtition from T & C Industries. The operable wall production was moved to Kwik-Wall’s main headquarters in Springfield, Illinois. New machinery and manufacturing processes were added to the Curtition plant to provide the best quality and range of accordion partition products available, manufactured in the shortest lead times, and delivered and installed through a network of the best-qualified distributors.
