About WebbShade
Who We Are
WebbShade is a family-owned and managed business, pioneered in 1946 by Bob & Natalie Webb. Currently managed by a second generation Webb, the family is committed to being a responsible member of the community, offering solid employment and excellent benefits to our employees. Our family includes three generations of Rotarians and is also an active participant in Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, youth sports and mentoring At-Risk Youth. In the early days we began by weaving upholstery & drapery fabrics, and were the first U.S. business to weave bamboo into a window shade. The business has evolved ever since, and now boasts cordless, easy-to-use window treatment innovations like WebbGlide and WebbLok. These safe and durable cordless window shades have been supplied to the Veterans Administration Medical Centers in the USA and around the world for over 35 years on our GSA contract. In addition, we are proud to have our shades used for years of maintenance-free use in developmentally disabled facilities, as well as hospitals, mental health centers, long-term care facilities, and universities throughout the United States.
