What Mare Nostrum does
Mare Nostrum (legal entity Toldos y Cerramientos Mare Nostrum S.L.) is a Spanish custom manufacturer and installer of outdoor sun protection and enclosure systems, headquartered in Alquerías del Niño Perdido, Castellón. Its portfolio spans awnings and shade sails (toldos y velas), glass curtain and aluminum enclosures (cerramientos), bioclimatic pergolas with adjustable louvers, fixed and mobile roofing systems (sandwich panel, glass, polycarbonate), pool covers, technical curtains, and home automation / motorization modules (domótica). The company designs, fabricates, and installs each product to measure at its own facilities, and is the sole authorized distributor of Brustor solar protection systems across the Comunidad Valenciana, supplemented by distribution agreements with 18+ premium international brands including KE, Somfy, Markilux, Dickson, Serge Ferrari, Sattler, and Flexol.
The business operates on a project-based, quote-driven commercial model: prospective clients request a budget via the website or WhatsApp, after which technical sales staff conduct on-site consultations and deliver customized proposals covering design, manufacturing, and turnkey installation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through one-time product sales bundled with professional installation and design services. Distribution is exclusively direct, via field sales, an appointment-based showroom, and inbound digital inquiries, with no third-party resellers or e-commerce channel.
The company serves residential homeowners, the hospitality sector (Ho.Re.Ca.), schools and sports facilities, municipalities and urban developers, and — through a dedicated industrial division website — industrial clients. Its operating geography is bounded to the Castellón and Valencia provinces. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or ownership changes, and employs between 11 and 50 people.

Mare Nostrum competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Gibus: Italian manufacturer of pergolas, retractable awnings, and bioclimatic structures sold across Europe. Comparable in product portfolio (bioclimatic pergolas, glass enclosures, retractable shading) and target customer (residential and Ho.Re.Ca.); competes for the same premium Mediterranean outdoor-living buyer.
- Brustor: Belgian manufacturer of bioclimatic pergolas, awnings, and ZIP screens. Directly comparable in product category — premium retractable louvers, sensor automation, and aluminum structures — and a key upstream partner whose products Mare Nostrum installs and distributes. Competes in the same bioclimatic-pergola category for end customers.
- KE Outdoor Design: Spanish manufacturer of contemporary pergolas, including the KEPLAN flat-roof folding-fabric system and KE PÉRGOLA. Same target market (residential and Ho.Re.Ca. outdoor spaces), same core product category (pergolas, bioclimatic enclosures), and same channel model (designer → custom installation). Distributed and installed by Mare Nostrum.
- Markilux: German premium awning manufacturer offering cassette, pergola, and vertical-screen systems for residential and commercial use. Directly comparable in awning category, design-and-customization model, and premium positioning; distributed and installed by Mare Nostrum in the Comunidad Valenciana.
- Palmiye: Turkish manufacturer and exporter of bioclimatic pergolas, retractable roof systems, and glass enclosures serving residential and hospitality projects across Southern Europe and MENA. Overlaps with Mare Nostrum's bioclimatic pergola and glass curtain offerings and is a credible competitor in the premium Mediterranean market.
Others
- Somfy: French world leader in motors and home-automation systems for awnings, pergolas, curtains, and roller shutters. Not a direct competitor, but a key enabling technology partner whose motors and controls are integrated into Mare Nostrum's Domótica-equipped products; shapes the standards and roadmap for the motorization layer the company sells.
- Serge Ferrari: French manufacturer of high-performance flexible composite fabrics used in tensile architecture, awnings, and solar protection. Functions as an upstream material supplier whose fabrics Mare Nostrum incorporates in premium awnings and shade-sail products, and is a key ecosystem participant in the same value chain.
Broad incumbents
- Warema: German market leader in technical sun protection systems (external venetian blinds, awnings, pergolas) with deep B2B and B2C channels. Overlaps with Mare Nostrum in premium awnings, ZIP screens, and motorized outdoor shading but at significantly larger scale and broader product breadth.
- Renson: Belgian established player in outdoor living, ventilation, and sun protection with a broad portfolio spanning pergolas, terrace covers, façade louvers, and indoor climate systems. Overlaps with Mare Nostrum in bioclimatic pergolas and terrace enclosures but operates as a much larger, multi-category incumbent.
Emerging players
- Gennius: European manufacturer of aluminum pergolas (e.g., VEGA model with retractable louvers and integrated LED lighting) targeting residential and Ho.Re.Ca. projects. Directly comparable to Mare Nostrum's bioclimatic pergola line, distributed by them, and competing for the same Mediterranean outdoor-living projects.
