Texton is a wholesale fabricator and distributor of quality custom window products since 1961.

For more than thirty years, we at Texton have been committed to providing quality window coverings to customers both in Texas and throughout the Southwest. These products are designed for use in commercial and residential projects.

Our customers are primarily store front retailers, designers and interior contractors. They are all backed by our professional staff of inside customer support specialists and outside sales representatives.

Texton is the outgrowth of a small retail shade shop that was founded in Dallas by Eddie Williams in 1941. Texton Distributing Company was formed in 1961 as the wholesale manufacturing arm. In 1992, Texton changed it's course of operations with the pursuit of it's current "total quality management" program. This commitment to excellence in all areas of our company on both our business and that of our customers. We recently completed a 30,000 sq. ft. plant expansion.

In the Spring of 2001, Texton entered into a major contract to manufacture and distribute the new Kensington Window Expressions™ brand of window covering products. This new agreement is a complementary offering adding significant opportunities for Texton and Texton dealers.

We at Texton understand that our future rests in our commitment to you, the customer. We invite you to explore our web site and take advantage of the products and services that we have to offer.
