What Eclisse does
ECLISSE is a privately-held, family-owned manufacturer of interior wall sliding door cassette systems, founded on January 10, 1989 in Pieve di Soligo, Treviso, Italy, operating in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Italy) through its wholly-owned German subsidiary Eclisse Deutschland GmbH. The company designs and produces concealed/pocket sliding door systems in which the door leaf disappears fully into a wall cavity, serving both dry construction (drywall) and solid wall (masonry) applications. ECLISSE holds over 40 patents and operates under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 (formerly OHSAS 18001) certifications, with manufacturing at the Treviso facility.
The product portfolio centers on two systems: the UNICO Plus family (sliding door elements with visible frame, engineered for 15-minute assembly) and the SYNTESIS Collection (wall-flush elements without visible frame, including SYNTESIS LINE, SYNTESIS LUCE with integrated cable channels, SYNTESIS PLANO flush swing doors, SYNTESIS TECH access panels, and SYNTESIS PLANO SL skirting profiles). Supporting product lines include wood and glass sliding door panels, BIAS™ and BIAS™ DS soft-close dampers, door guide profiles, handles, and motorized automation. Technical differentiators include a removable track system with bayonet connection (enabling maintenance and aftermarket upgrades such as soft-close or motorization), aluminum 6060 track profiles with 10µm anodized protection (rated 240 hours in salt-spray testing), sound insulation to 39 dB, and 100,000-cycle durability on door guiding wheels.
Revenue is generated through hardware sales of cassettes, frames, panels, and accessories, distributed primarily through authorized specialist building-material dealers (Baustoff-Fachhändler) in Germany and Austria, complemented by direct consultation for architects (via dedicated account manager Markus Kocher, [email protected]), direct technical support for professional contractors (Verarbeiter), and an online configurator at eclisse-konfigurator.de that funnels self-service end-customer demand into the dealer network. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. Products are shipped DDP to customer premises.

Eclisse competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Klein GmbH: German maker of sliding door systems and pocket door frames, including the Innovative Pocket Door brand. Klein competes directly with ECLISSE in Germany on cassette installations for both drywall and solid wall construction.
- Johnson Hardware: US-based manufacturer of pocket door hardware and sliding door track systems. Johnson Hardware is a long-established peer in the pocket-door mechanism category, comparable in function though more focused on track and hardware components than full cassette systems.
- Scrigno: Italian manufacturer of pocket sliding door systems (Unico, Essential, Gold) for drywall and masonry walls. Scrigno is the most directly comparable peer to ECLISSE, addressing identical use cases with a similar cassette-based architecture and distribution through dealer networks across Europe.
- Sunflex Aluminium Systems: German specialist in glass sliding and folding systems for interiors (and facades). Sunflex overlaps with ECLISSE's glass sliding door and large-opening premium product lines, particularly for residential and light commercial projects.
- Hawa Sliding Solutions: Swiss sliding door hardware specialist (now part of the dormakaba Group) producing top-hung and pocket sliding door systems. Hawa is highly comparable to ECLISSE for its cassette-style and wall-flush sliding solutions targeted at premium interior applications in Europe.
- Raumplus: German manufacturer of sliding door and room partition systems for wardrobes, living spaces, and architectural openings. Raumplus serves the same German DACH and European interior door market as ECLISSE with comparable premium design positioning.
- Krona Koblenz: Austrian/German manufacturer of door hardware including concealed sliding door frames (such as Pocket Kit) for interior walls. Krona Koblenz competes directly with ECLISSE in the German-speaking market on pocket-door installations.
Broad incumbents
- dormakaba: Global Swiss-based access solutions group offering door hardware, automatic doors, and sliding door systems (including through Hawa). As a broad incumbent with a much larger product portfolio, dormakaba competes with ECLISSE on commercial and premium residential projects while serving far more end markets.
Emerging players
- Cavity Sliders: New Zealand-headquartered manufacturer of pocket door frame systems, including the Cavity Slider and CL400 Track System. Comparable product category to ECLISSE's UNICO and SYNTESIS cassettes, with growing distribution in the UK and Australia.
Regional players
- Vitrocsa: Swiss manufacturer of minimalist-frame sliding windows and doors, premium positioned for architectural projects. Vitrocsa serves overlapping high-end projects to ECLISSE, though focused on exterior glazing rather than interior cassette systems.
