Coulisse

What Coulisse does

Coulisse is a family-owned Dutch manufacturer and wholesale supplier of window coverings founded in 1992 in Enter, Netherlands, and led by the Roetgering brothers. The company sells roller, double-roller, honeycomb, roman, vertical, panel, and curtain-track systems, together with proprietary textile collections (including the Living Beauty line and Eco recycled-PET fabrics) and the Motionblinds line of smart motors, into a B2B partner network of fabricators, wholesalers, retailers, and commercial solution providers across 118+ countries. Regional operations are anchored by headquarters in the Netherlands, Coulisse Americas in Miami, and offices in Sydney, Shanghai, Taipei, Bydgoszcz, Leeds, and Trier.

The business runs a one-stop-shop model pairing in-house-designed fabric collections, modular hardware systems (Absolute Roller 2.0, Absolute Roman, Absolute Honeycomb, Absolute Vertical, Absolute Panel), and Motionblinds automation supporting Bluetooth, Thread, and Matter for integration with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, and KNX. Product development is proprietary, with patented technologies such as the Absolute Silence system (up to 15 dB quieter than standard setups) and the 'Best for Kids' Twin Pull child-safe control. Coulisse reported €100M in turnover in 2018, has approximately 475 employees globally, and in 2023 acquired Lienesch BV and Sensuna GmbH to internalize fabric production. A 22,500 m² Coulisse Campus logistics hub with AS/RS automation opened in Enter in 2024, and a Nova AI governance group was established in October 2025 to coordinate AI initiatives across product, supply chain, sales, and legal.
