What LEHA does

LEHA GmbH is an Austrian manufacturer of custom-made window treatments and interior sun protection systems, founded in 1964 and headquartered in Breitenaich, Upper Austria. The company produces pleated blinds (Plissees), roller blinds (Rollos), vertical blinds, roman shades (Raffrollos), panel curtains, aluminum and wooden venetian blinds, wave curtain systems, curtain rails and rods (including wooden Karniesen since 1964 and Interstil-branded rod systems), and a patented Transpatec insect protection line. All products are manufactured to millimeter-precise customer specifications at the single Breitenaich site, which also houses an in-house sewing atelier. The company has 101–250 employees and is led by Managing Directors Dipl.-Ing. Werner Hanisch and Mag. Georg Hanisch, suggesting a family-controlled ownership structure.

The business model is a B2B2C go-to-market built on exclusive distribution through qualified specialist interior design retailers (Fachhandel / Raumausstatter) who handle consultation, measurement, custom ordering, and installation for end consumers and commercial projects. LEHA supports this channel with a dedicated B2B portal (b2b.leha.at) and a separate Swiss legal entity (LEHA AG) for the Swiss and Liechtenstein market. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time custom product sales priced per quote, with premium upsell into motorized and smart-home-integrated systems (Powerview, Smart.Electric — the latter using Somfy motor technology with KNX/EIB bus, Alexa, and TaHoma app control).

Geographically, LEHA serves Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia, with a localized website available in seven languages. End customers include residential homeowners (primary), architects and interior designers (primary specifier segment), specialist interior design retailers, and commercial property projects (hotels, offices, education — e.g., University of Zurich glare-protection project). No public financials, funding rounds, app, or external investor backing are disclosed.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• IKEA: Global home furnishing retailer offering ready-made and some custom window treatments (incl. FYRTUR/KADRILJ smart blinds). Competes at the mass-market end and exerts pricing pressure on custom shading categories.
• Velux: Danish global leader in roof windows and skylights, with a growing internal shading and smart-blind range. Adjacent incumbent expanding into the same sun-protection and smart-shading category.

Emerging players

• Lutron: US-based premium provider of motorized window treatments and lighting controls. Comparable in high-end automated shading systems targeting architects and luxury residential projects.
• Coulisse: Dutch manufacturer of window coverings with a strong smart-shading and motorization portfolio. Comparable in motorized roller/venetian blinds and smart-home integration ambition, often selling through designer/specifier channels.

Others

• Somfy: Global leader in motors and home automation. While a technology partner powering LEHA's Smart.Electric, Somfy also sells own-brand motorized shading solutions, making it a partial competitor in the smart shading category.

Direct peers

• Roma: German/Austrian manufacturer of roller shutters, external venetian blinds, and textile sun protection. Direct peer for LEHA's exterior shading and custom internal blinds, with comparable distribution through specialist dealers.
• Warema: German manufacturer of internal and external sun protection systems with a broad blinds and shading portfolio. Closest direct competitor in DACH given overlapping product range and specialist dealer go-to-market.
• Hunter Douglas: Global market leader in custom window coverings and architectural shading. Competes directly with LEHA across roller blinds, pleated shades, venetians, and motorized systems in the same European end markets.
• MHZ Hachtel: German manufacturer of internal sun protection, curtain rails, and insect protection screens. Highly comparable product portfolio and Fachhandel distribution model to LEHA across Central Europe.
