As we move closer to celebrating Modernfold’s 100th anniversary, we reflect on almost a century of innovation, quality, and excellence that has firmly established the brand as a global leader in movable wall systems.

The Humble Beginnings

Modernfold’s journey began in 1925 with a vision to revolutionize the way spaces are utilized. The company was founded with a commitment to providing flexible and efficient space management solutions. The first products consisted of wood partitions for offices and large room dividers and portable bleachers for school gymnasiums.

A Legacy is Born
