Core offering

Grifoflex manufactures and distributes custom mosquito nets (zanzariere) for windows and French doors under three installation categories — in luce (surface-mounted), incasso (recessed), and a pannello (panel systems) — offered as spring-operated, pleated, rollout, chain-operated, or touch-operated models with in-house custom painting. The company also produces technical shading/darkening panels (tende tecniche/oscuranti). All products are sold exclusively B2B through a nationwide Italian reseller network and supported by an Infinity online configurator and an E-order B2B ordering platform.

Product overview

Grifoflex is a family-owned Italian company (based in Perugia) that has been producing and distributing mosquito nets (zanzariere) for fifty years. The company operates primarily as a B2B manufacturer, selling through a network of resellers across Italy. The product portfolio is organized under the Grifho sub-brand and encompasses three main installation categories: zanzariere in luce (architectural/mounted mosquito nets visible on the window frame), zanzariere da incasso (recessed/built-in mosquito nets that disappear into the wall), and zanzariere a pannello (panel mosquito nets in fixed, swinging, or sliding configurations). Within these categories, products are further differentiated by operation mechanism including spring-operated (a molla), chain-operated (a catenella), pleated/folded (plissettate), and rollout systems. Key product families include Rollblock (barrier-free door-frame system), Dream (luce and incasso models with vertical handle operation), and various pleated systems (Plissè 13/22/31/38). The company also offers the Configuratore Infinity for product customization and E-order platform for B2B ordering. Grifoflex provides in-house painting services for custom color options and maintains manufacturing facilities in both Italy (Marsciano) and Tunisia (Megrine).

Broad incumbents

• Griesser AG: Swiss European incumbent in external sun shading, roller shutters, and insect screens, with multi-country distribution — comparable to Grifoflex's screen and shading portfolio at a much larger international scale.
• WAREMA Group: Large German manufacturer of technical sun shading systems and external Venetian blinds, serving European residential and commercial markets — overlaps with Grifoflex's tende tecniche portfolio at the higher end of the category.
• VELUX Group: Danish roof window and blind/shading manufacturer with integrated insect screen accessories — adjacent competitor on the screen-by-window category and a benchmark for premium channel-led distribution in Europe.
• Saint-Gobain: Global building materials group with insect screen meshes and facade systems — not a like-for-like competitor, but a benchmark incumbent whose scale and R&D set the ceiling for differentiated screen makers like Grifoflex.
• heroal: German aluminum systems manufacturer producing window, roller shutter, and insect screen systems for the European trade channel — comparable manufacturing-plus-dealer model to Grifoflex.

Emerging players

• Renson: Belgian manufacturer of ventilation, sun shading (screens and louvers), and outdoor living products — overlapping on the integrated insect screen + shading proposition Grifoflex pursues in Italy.
• Centor: Specialist in retractable insect screens and integrated door systems sold through premium dealer channels — directly comparable product category to Grifoflex's panel and pleated screens.

Direct peers

• Bettio Group: Italian manufacturer of insect screens and roller shutters, with overlapping zanzariere and shading product families sold through a similar B2B dealer channel across Italy and Europe — the closest direct peer to Grifoflex.

Regional players

• Phifer: U.S.-based manufacturer of insect screening, sun shading fabrics, and coated meshes — comparable at the material/component layer that supplies screen fabric used by Grifoflex-style manufacturers.

Others

• Reflexs (Mazzucchelli1849): Italian component and profile manufacturer serving window/door and shading OEMs — comparable as an Italian industrial supplier adjacent to Grifoflex's dealer ecosystem and manufacturing supply chain.
