Las Vegas businesswoman Fran Minnozzi first encountered rolling shutters in Europe in the early eighties. Realizing that the metal shutters could effectively deter crime in her neighborhood back in the States, Minnozzi began working on plans for the first Rolladen Rolling Shutters, and in early 1984 began business and manufacturing operations. When installed, the shutters protect furniture and carpet from sun damage, they keep homes and businesses cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and they reduce energy consumption by as much as 65%.
