What Doorson does
Doorson d.o.o. is a privately held Slovenian manufacturer of automatic sliding door systems, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Maribor, with an additional regional office in Zagreb, Croatia. The company designs and produces automatic sliding doors for commercial, public, residential, and hospitality buildings, organized into two main product lines: the 300 series (standard automatic sliding doors, including the 300 thales frameless variant and the 300 T telescopic variant) and the 500 series (fire-rated doors, including the 500 F fire barrier model and the 500 EFS fire escape model with EI30/EI60 ratings and mechanical swing-transform functionality). Underlying technology centers on slim-profile drives (100-170mm), low-power operation (under 0.5W in sleep mode), motion and presence detection sensors with up to 2.5m range and 3m mounting height, and integrated access control. Complementary products include the 400 series interior doors, Smart Switch and Smart Lock touchless accessories, and the My Door mobile application for iOS and Android.
The company sells primarily through project-based B2B channels, engaging architects, developers, and facility managers during the building design phase. Revenue is generated mainly through hardware sales, supplemented by extended-warranty and installation/integration services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution covers Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Iceland, and Serbia, with reference projects spanning healthcare (hospitals, retirement homes, medical centers), hospitality (hotels and resorts including Hilton Costabella, Hotel Riviera, Villa Muhr), commercial offices (e.g., UniCredit Bank), residential multi-apartment buildings, education (Primary School Loka Crnomelj), and high-traffic public infrastructure (Zagreb International Airport). Marketing is conducted via reference-project galleries, an interactive online 3D showroom, multi-language websites, and downloadable corporate catalogs. Doorson partners with Boon Edam to offer Tourniket revolving doors for premium hospitality entrance solutions.
The business is privately held under Slovenian d.o.o. (limited liability) structure with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range. Competitive positioning emphasizes energy efficiency (advertised 70% energy/CO2 reduction, 10-year electricity savings calculator), human safety (fire resistance, touchless operation), and design flexibility (frameless, panel, and glass options), with proprietary frameless and fire-escape designs cited as the principal differentiators against broader automatic door competitors.
