In this months’ Essential Partners Feature, we are super excited to introduce you to the high-spirited Helser Brothers. We met brothers Jay and Mark to find out more about the driving force behind the powerhouse in the drapery hardware business, Helser Brothers Inc. Read on to find out how customizing off-road cars and interior curtain hardware design proved the perfect fit for the Helser Brothers.

History of the brand

Determination and impeccable work ethic have shaped the lives of the two brothers from an early age. In adolescence, the two brothers were enthusiastic entrepreneurs who dreamt of starting a business together. Little did Mark and Jay know that their childhood dream would be realized years later.

As an industrious young boy of seven, Mark started to develop his mechanical ability by creating an alarm system for his room, complete with a doorbell! At ten he was making customized bicycles for the kids in the neighborhood, where he found his passion for mechanical design. Mark bought and customized his first car at fifteen, and by eighteen he was being featured in custom car magazines for his creative and practical designs. Mark worked full time while studying, to create quality off-road race cars complete with metal roll cages. Here he honed the metalworking skill that would soon prove essential to Brother Helser Inc.

Meanwhile, Jay was gaining experience in the curtain hardware industry as an installer’s assistant. He gained precious knowledge and insight that would lead to the creation of their company. Jay became known in this field and had a “reputation for really knowing his stuff in the drapery hardware industry.” He was an expert problem-solver and would often get called in on difficult installations due to his creative approach. He soon noticed that there was a need for high-quality ironware and professional suppliers. Jay realized that there was an opportunity to create something worthwhile, a challenge that he and brother Mark would whole-heartedly accept.

The two brothers grabbed the chance and joined forces to create Helser Brothers Inc. where they pride themselves on “over-the-top” customer service and exquisite manufacturing expertise. Helser Brothers Inc. quickly grew into one of the leaders in the curtain hardware industry. The Helser Brothers’ dedication to delivering high-end products to their clients is internationally known and sets them apart from competitors.

Helser Brothers Inc. has grown to include a motivated team of associates that are committed to creating innovative drapery hardware for the discerning client. Together they envision delivering faultless metal working at competitive prices.
