What Palagina does

Palagina s.r.l. is an Italian manufacturer of mosquito nets (zanzariere) and technical blinds, headquartered in Fucecchio with a secondary office in Sainte Maxime, France, and operating under the direction of IN & OUT Holding S.p.A. The company sells a broad portfolio of retractable, lateral, plissé, roller, fixed, sliding, and concealed built-in mosquito nets, alongside outdoor technical blinds under the K.zip line and interior shades from the Libera and Rullo series. Its technology base centers on mechanically engineered screen systems — including the patented Sintesi belt/track taut-mesh system with a 5mm floor guide, the Serie R spring-loaded range with hidden screws and decelerators, and the K.zip zip-screen system for large openings — supported by proprietary mesh technologies such as SUNOX photocatalytic antibacterial mesh and Microban-certified TUFF SCREEN pet-proof mesh, with technical documentation and a G Tot calculator aligned to the UNI EN 13363-1 solar-factor standard.

The business model is B2B2C hardware sales executed exclusively through an authorized dealer network of specialized resellers, showrooms, installers, and repair technicians in Italy, supplemented by a French subsidiary managing the cross-border channel; pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers are routed to the nearest dealer through an online locator. Sub-brands (K.zip, Serie R, Sintesi, Plissé, Extrema) are organized across three core categories — Zanzariere, Tende da Esterno, Tende da Interno — with multiple sub-lines (LINEA CARRO, LINEA SERIE X, PLISSETTATE, LINEA INCASSO, Pannelli) covering the full configuration space from surface-mounted windows to recessed patio doors.

Palagina runs six co-located facilities in Fucecchio covering carriage system production, spring-loaded mosquito nets, technical blinds, logistics, and purchasing, and supports its dealer channel with a Display Configurator portal, Vexperience virtual showroom, technical PDFs, DWG drawings, and educational content. Customer evidence is dominated by the residential long-tail through dealers, with a thin layer of named hospitality and professional installations (La Tonnelle, Trabocco Restaurant, Tenuta Esdra, an Italian IT company) serving primarily as marketing case studies rather than enterprise revenue anchors.
