The Belgian family company Harol was founded in 1946 by Leon Draelants. Over 60 years later, the former carpenter shop that manufactured wooden roll-down shutters has grown to become Europe’s leading manufacturer of roll-down shutters, sunblinds and gates. Harol’s products are know far beyond our country’s borders, and via subsidiaries abroad, products are exported to the Netherlands, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, as well as countries like Sweden and Kuwait!

It can be no coincidence that this company’s 350 employees managed to receive the prestigious ISO 9001 certificate, an international hallmark for quality management systems.

Harol called upon Achilles Associates’ expertise for the development of the casing and the mechanism of its sunblind systems.

Thanks to this system, one can enjoy the sun all year round: on the terrace and the balcony, in the garden, in the winter garden or veranda… Harol’s ingenious drop arm awnings create shade wherever needed and control the light angle and temperature.

The casing of the mechanism is made form aluminium extrusion profiles and aluminium casting. In combination with professional custom work and a wide variety of awnings and colours, every one can compose their perfect solution for excess sunlight at Harol.
