Wayne Dalton History

In 1954, Emanuel Mullet saw the potential in the invention of a garage door that stored itself overhead and founded Wayne-Dalton. Inspired by the practical values, craftsmanship, and work ethic of the Amish, Emanuel located his company in Mt. Hope, Ohio where, to this day, Amish farmers still labor side-by-side with their corporate neighbors.

Of all Wayne-Dalton’s traditions and values, innovation serves as their driving force. When homeowners and builders are looking for the latest garage doors and garage door openers, Wayne-Dalton is their source.

By maintaining a staunch commitment to exceed industry standards for innovation in design, quality, and safety, Wayne-Dalton is now a world leader in the garage door and garage door opener industry.
