BTX Window Automation Inc. (DBA: BTX Intelligent Fashion, BTX Shading Solutions) is a Dallas-based designer and manufacturer of custom motorized interior and exterior shading systems, founded in 1985 and operating as a privately held subsidiary of Pesca Holding. The company operates eight core product lines — drapery systems (Classic, Tumo, Aura), roller shades, Roman shades (B9), skylight systems (SKY 5T, SKY 5TO), Twister Sail hand-operated awnings, exterior screens (SKY 5, SKY 6), roof systems/structures (Sky Louver, Sky Retractable Roof), and control solutions (SmartLink Pro, Smart by Bond) — plus third-party motor brands Somfy and Rollease. Proprietary motorization technology supports multi-protocol integration (Zigbee, Matter, Contact Closure, RF) and native interoperability with major smart home and building management platforms including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Control4, Crestron, Savant, SmartThings, Josh.ai, Loxone, URC, Hubitat, NComm, and BMS.

The company's business model is project-based custom hardware sales supplemented by professional specification and design consultation services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with solutions configured to specifications covering size, materials, motor type, and integration requirements. BTX sells through a dealer and distributor network spanning 15-25 year channel relationships, supplemented by direct enterprise consultation for hospitality, commercial, and high-end residential projects. The customer base includes named luxury hospitality clients (Hilton Nashville, Fairmont Vancouver, Mandarin NY/Miami, St. Regis, Shangri-La, Atlantis Bahamas, MGM Resorts, Four Seasons, Taj West End, Setai, Barclay NY), alongside an unspecified long tail of residential and commercial buyers accessed via the dealer channel. Marketing is conducted through a website with virtual showroom and document library, LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram, an email newsletter, earned media, and industry events including the CEDIA Expo.

The GTM is sales-led with event-driven amplification, emphasizing 35+ years of industry expertise, proprietary motorization technology, and a full-service solution model from design consultation through manufacturing. The firm has 11-50 employees, no disclosed venture funding, and operates primarily across the United States despite an internationally distributed hospitality project portfolio. Recent strategic activity centers on the 2025 Smart by Bond partnership with Bond and Modern Atomics, the SmartLink Pro control ecosystem launch, and entry into outdoor roof structure products, all signaling a modernization push into smart-home-integrated and outdoor architectural shading categories. Leadership is led by CEO Davide Pesca.
