Stoett Industries

What Stoett Industries does

Stoett Industries, Inc. is a privately held Ohio-based manufacturer that designs, engineers, produces, and (through dealers) installs retractable outdoor-living products. Founded in Hicksville, Ohio, the company operates in the 11–50 employee range and sells through an authorized dealer network across the United States and Canada, with a separate direct e-commerce presence via shop.stoett.com for an RV product line and a dedicated architectural channel through its wholly-owned Libart USA subsidiary for large-scale commercial projects. Stoett's primary customer base is split between residential homeowners and commercial hospitality operators (restaurants, hotels, breweries, cafes), with secondary reach into architects/designers, high-rise builders, and door/window dealers.

The core technology stack centers on retractable screens and enclosures using proprietary mechanical systems — SecurTrak for motorized roof enclosures, TeleGlide for rail-free operation, the Spring Retraction System for manual access from either side, and the Kinetic hidden self-charging piston mechanism for glass railings. The product portfolio includes ten sub-brands spanning price tiers and use cases: PanoramaUltra and PanoramaPlus screens (premium and entry-level), StowAway retractable screen doors, Panora vertical-retracting glass walls, Kinetic glass railings and wind barriers, Evolution Freestanding and Lean-To enclosures, ClearSky retractable vaulted skylights, SolaGlide skylights, AquaSun pool enclosures, and PergoFlex retractable roofs. Configurability is a defining feature, with 15+ frame colors, multiple mesh and fabric options, motorized or manual operation, smartphone app control on motorized units, side fabric retention rated to 30 mph winds, UV protection up to 95%, and custom sizes up to 24'W x 16'H.

Stoett's revenue model is one-time product sales priced by custom quote based on opening size, materials, and operation type; financing is not offered and production lead time is 4–6 weeks. Dealers earn a 5% finders fee on Libart architectural projects, aligning channel incentives to the higher-margin commercial line. Customer testimonials and project galleries emphasize year-round weather protection, season extension for outdoor hospitality seating, and seamless indoor/outdoor transitions, indicating the core economic value is sold as a weatherproofing and capacity-unlock solution rather than a commodity screen.
