SunPro Motorized Awnings & Screens

What SunPro Motorized Awnings & Screens does

SunPro Motorized Awnings & Screens is a privately held US manufacturer of motorized retractable awnings and motorized screens, headquartered and assembled in Bradenton, Florida with a co-founder leadership team (Bob Falahee and Valerie Falahee). The company sells exclusively through a wholesale authorized dealer network of 800+ active resellers across the United States, positioning itself as the fastest-growing manufacturer in its category based on Inc. 5000 recognition. Its product platform centers on two integrated lines: motorized retractable awnings with widths from 8 to 40 feet and motorized screens configurable from 3 to 30 feet wide and up to 22 feet tall, all built on shared technical components including powder-coated anti-corrosion cassette housings, fabric pre-installed on roll tubes, and dual motor options from Dooya and Somfy that support smart-home and voice integration.

The company's underlying technology stack includes a proprietary online ordering system that compresses fabric-cutting time from 45 minutes to 45 seconds, patented self-adjusting track technology for severe-weather and commercial applications, and an integrated US manufacturing operation capable of building a custom screen every three minutes. A company-owned delivery fleet handles 85% of shipments, enabling a 1-2 week order-to-delivery cycle versus an industry-standard 4-6 weeks. Fabric supply is anchored by Sunbrella (with Phifer and Twitchell as additional suppliers), and finished products carry tiered warranties including 10 years on awnings, lifetime on screen hardware, up to 15 years on screen fabric, and 5 years on motors and controls.

SunPro monetizes through one-time wholesale hardware sales to dealers with no subscription component, supplemented by dealer support services such as technical assistance, hands-on training at the Florida facility, and online ordering tooling. End customers are primarily residential homeowners seeking patio, porch, balcony, and outdoor-living shade and insect protection, with secondary demand from commercial properties and new-construction projects requiring recessed or large-format screen systems. Customer concentration is structurally low given the dealer-channel distribution model, and growth has been driven by nationwide geographic expansion, dealer network scaling, and product-line extension across multiple screen configurations.
