“The TURNER story had a lifespan of only 35 years. It began in April 1935 and closed on the 30th of November 1970, when STANLEY TITAN acquired the business, and either absorbed or ceased to manufacture the TURNER products from that date.

In 1935, Rene William TURNER, aged 27 years, formed a small company, trading as "Moderne Handles Company" in Chapel Street in South Yarra, Melbourne, with a staff of three people. By 1966, the Company, now named TURNER Industries Ltd, employed 1100 people. - from the HTPAA web page.
