What Climax does

CLIMAX (legal entity SERVIS CLIMAX a.s.) is the largest Czech manufacturer of indoor and outdoor shading technology, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Vsetín, Czech Republic. The company's core product range covers external venkovní žaluzie (external blinds) in multiple proprietary lamella profiles (Z-90 NOVAL, T-80, C-80), external roller shutters, screen roller shutters, aluminum and bioclimate pergolas, retractable awnings, interior blinds, fabric shading, insect screens, and winter-garden shading. Manufacturing is vertically integrated at the Vsetín campus, which includes aluminum profile rolling, an in-house powder-coating facility (Qualicoat-certified), motorization assembly, and rooftop photovoltaic generation (948.7 kWp); the company is also ISO 9001-certified (recertified 2023) and offers a 4-year extended warranty.

CLIMAX serves four primary customer segments: residential homeowners (via a 64-dealer network across the Czech Republic and an e-commerce platform for components), housing associations and reconstruction projects (targeted at NZÚ-subsidized facade upgrades), architects/designers/project engineers (supported by BIM 3D model library, a Profi zone portal, and an AR mobile visualization app), and installation/mounting firms (64 Czech dealers plus international installation partners). International revenue is generated through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Switzerland (CLIMAX SWISS GmbH, founded 2016) and France (Baumann Hüppe), distribution partners in Slovakia, Germany, Austria, Israel and other markets, and the Austrian association Sonne Licht Schatten. The company produces 580,000+ units annually and exports to 35+ countries.

The business model is project-based manufacturing: products are custom-made to order, priced per quote via the dealer network or an online quote-request form, and billed per order confirmation through the e-shop system. Revenue streams include one-time equipment sales (the dominant stream), spare parts/components, and paid repair services performed at the Vsetín headquarters. Strategic technology partnerships — including motorization integration with SOMFY, HELUZ lintel co-design, SSPA Solarcell on photovoltaic SOLARfabric, and the June 2026 ZEBR partnership — anchor the innovation pipeline alongside proprietary systems such as the COMFORT self-supporting mounting system and the Silueta day-and-night blind. The company remains founder-controlled (Miroslav Jakubec) with no disclosed external equity or debt financing.
