What Acrimo does

Acrimo A/S is a Danish manufacturer of exterior solar shading products, established in 1952 and headquartered in Hedehusene, Denmark (with a regional branch in Skanderborg, Jutland). The company designs, extrudes, and assembles a broad portfolio that includes arm awnings (multiple model series), fall-arm and side awnings, zip-screen systems, retractable and bioclimatic pergolas (the latter produced in partnership with Italian firm Pratic), facade venetian blinds, blackout curtain systems, and premium parasols (resold from Bahama and Scolaro). All products are built on company-extruded aluminum profiles with optional anodizing, hot-dip galvanizing, or powder coating, and can be integrated with SOMFY motorization and smartphone control; the company also performs proprietary energy/temperature/CO2 calculations to size solutions for specifiers.

Acrimo serves three primary segments: private homeowners (residential terraces, balconies, gardens), commercial end-customers (offices, retail, larger building projects), and HoReCa (hotels, restaurants, cafes). The go-to-market is hybrid: a nationwide Danish dealer network handles residential sales and provides consultation and installation, while Acrimo's own sales team (Head of Sales Erik Jensen, plus direct phone/email contact channels) handles larger B2B and HoReCa projects with tailored consultation.

The revenue model combines one-time product sales (custom and standardized) with project-based installation services delivered via specialized installer partners, and recurring service and maintenance contracts for inspection and repair — described as flexible agreements with experienced service technicians supporting an expected product lifespan of 15-20 years. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers obtain quotes either through dealers (private) or directly from the company (commercial). Marketing is conducted through Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, supported by downloadable inspiration catalogs that feed dealer-led conversion. The legal entity is the privately held Acrimo A/S (CVR 43383078), currently operating with a small employee base (11-50) and serving only the domestic Danish market.
