Company History

In 1924, Edward Fimbel, Sr. signed a franchise agreement with Overhead Door Corporation of Hartford City, Indiana, to manufacture and market overhead doors in the northeast. After thirty years of manufacturing in the state of New Jersey, a facility in Nashua, New Hampshire was opened for easier distribution to the New England market. This operation was setup and run by Edward’s eldest son, Paul.

Paul Niver Fimbel relocated Fimbel Garage Doors headquarters to New Hampshire in 1968, when the Overhead Door Corporation franchise agreement was terminated and Fimbel became an independent family-owned business.

In 1993, grandsons Michael and Carl Fimbel transitioned from manufacturing to retail sales with the launch of Fimbel Paunet Corporation in Nashua, NH, which supported the company’s ability to serve the greater Merrimack region of southern New Hampshire. They opened a second retail office in Hampton, NH in 1996 to serve the seacoast area and eventually relocated that space to Brentwood, NH.

Fimbel Garage Doors gradually expanded its garage door service offerings to include loading dock solutions for industrial partners. Fimbel offers installation and maintenance services for loading dock equipment including dock levelers, seals, shelters and bumpers, among other industrial equipment needs.

In 2000, Fimbel Paunet Corporation relocated its Nashua operation to a brand new showroom and full-service facility in Merrimack. We look forward to a strong future providing high quality garage door products and services to our residential and commercial customers in the southern New Hampshire region.
