Idealcombi was founded in 1973 by the brothers Bent and Henning Søgaard in their parent’s barn in Hurup on the Danish west coast. The business quickly grew bigger, and, in 1981, it was transformed into the public limited company Ideal Vinduet A/S with 20 employees. Only a few years later – in 1984 – the two brothers opened a new 3.500 sqm window factory in Hurup where the revolutionary window system known as CombiFrame was established in 1988, in a business partnership with KPK Døre og Vinduer under the name CombiFrame A/S. A few years later, all of CombiFrame A/S was taken over by IdealVinduet A/S.
