The truth about Hume Internationale Wallcoverings- is what it seems!

  • May 21, 2012

We’ve got your walls covered, but why are we proud of our company?

At Hume Internationale, we are very proud of our company. We are wholly satisfied that we do our absolute best for every customer who is seeking to bring new life to their walls. But what drives our company? What sets us apart from our competitors? Why are we so good at what we do?

Hume Internationale wallcoverings - a great company defined by truths - Barry Walters, Mitch Walters

We have a solid history

Hume Internationale was founded by David Hume, whose family has a long history in the wall covering industry dating back to 1898. The Hume Internationale company was established in 1971, operating as Wal-rit Distributors. The business was later sold to S.E. Hobson, another industry pioneer, in 1976. The Hobsons were painting and decorating contractors with a heritage that dated back to the latter part of the 19th Century. Any business that has survived this long has clearly been through its ups and downs. Hume’s story is about triumph over adversity, the ability to adapt and a real determination to serve our customers better than anyone else on the planet. We’ve been around for a long time in a tricky industry that demands plenty of business savvy. We’ve accumulated a lot of knowledge in that time and our commitment to customer service and delivering quality products remains as strong as day one.

We live by five simple truths

Hume Internationale stands apart because we believe in our products, we go the extra mile, we treat our customers and their dreams with the highest respect. We also embrace five simple truths that we’ve spent a lifetime cultivating…
