History

The Esavian name goes back to 1917 as a trade name for sliding folding doors for school classrooms. Nigel Jewers joined Esavian in 1971 and brought the idea of steel sliding doors for large openings such as aircraft hangars. He started his own company in 1983 and acquired the Esavian business in 1987, after which Esavian became the hangar door brand of Jewers Doors. His three sons became directors in the business.
