Opening Doors with Inspiration
Doors and manufacturing excellence are at the heart of everything we do. Each door we build, every innovative product we create, and each forward step we take is driven by our relentless pursuit of perfection. Our legacy spans over 70 years and tells a story of visionary individuals, courage, and commitment. It all began with Don Buckley and continues to this day with the same passion and dedication that shaped Hume into a trusted industry name.
A Vision is Born
In 1953, Don Buckley founded the Hume Group with just 15 people and a handful of products, yet his vision was far from small. Today, over 70 years later, Hume has grown into one of the nation's largest door manufacturers with operations in every capital city and strategically located regional branches across Australia and New Zealand.
The Hume Group remains a 100% Australian-owned family company, continuing to uphold the values Don Buckley established: family, trust, teamwork, innovation and safe reliable manufacturing.
