Hemglass was founded by the Swedish Eric Ericsson in 1968. It spread its activities to other countries, establishing itself in Denmark in 1976, and in Norway and Finland in 1993. A parent company, Hjem-IS Europa A/S, existed from 1991 to 2008, and was headquartered in Kolding, Denmark. The company also operated in the United Kingdom in certain regions from at least 1989 until the early 2000s.
