What NYFAN® does

NYFAN® is a Greek distributor and brand operator of integrated shading solutions, headquartered in Nea Chalkidona, Athens, and operating since 1981. The company sells awning fabrics (TenCate, Tempotest, PVC, Serge Ferrari, GlasScreen, PolyScreen, HDPE, Achilles Japanese PVC film), shading systems (Coolscreen vertical systems with cable guide, ZIP, and solar-powered variants; canopies; motors and automation; awning components), and aluminum pergolas (bioclimatic and sloping designs plus a digital Pergola Builder configurator). NYFAN distributes exclusively through a B2B partner network of certified installers and specialized retailers across Greece, with end customers accessing NYFAN products via the partners.nyfan.gr portal.

The company's technology positioning rests on co-branded and exclusive partnerships with international manufacturers: Harol manufactures the Coolscreen vertical shading systems (including X-Glide, ZIP, and solar-powered variants with 7-year warranties); TenCate Outdoor Fabrics supplies premium awning fabrics under the NYFAN TenCate brand with Oeko Tex Standard 100 certification; Tempotest (Parà Group) provides acrylic awning fabrics; and Serge Ferrari supplies the Soltis Lounge 96 technical fabric. Products meet certifications including EN13561 wind class 3 for the Coolscreen 8 system and Oeko Tex 100 for fabrics.

NYFAN generates revenue through the B2B sale of shading products to its Greek partner network; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set per-specification through partner quotes. The company employs 8 people, operates a bilingual Greek/English website, maintains active social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest), and shows no evidence of external investment, M&A activity, or geographic expansion beyond Greece. Ownership is private, with the entity organized as ΝΕΑ ΥΦΑΝΤΟΥΡΓΙΚΗ ΕΜΠΟΡΙΚΗ, ΒΙΟΜΗΧΑΝΙΚΗ ΚΑΙ ΞΕΝΟΔΟΧΕΙΑΚΗ Α.Ε. (NYFAN A.B.E.E.).

Direct peers

• Gibus: Italian manufacturer of pergolas, bioclimate structures, and outdoor shading. Closely comparable to NYFAN's pergola portfolio and operates in similar Mediterranean market conditions.
• Markilux: German premium awning and pergola manufacturer with strong brand and partner-network distribution model similar to NYFAN's. Both compete in residential outdoor shading with high-spec products sold through certified dealers.
• KE Outdoor: Italian manufacturer of pergolas, awnings, and outdoor shading systems. Closely comparable in product mix (pergolas + awnings + retractable systems) and Mediterranean market orientation, making it a direct regional competitor.
• Harol: Belgian manufacturer of shading systems including zip-screens, vertical shading, and awnings. Harol is NYFAN's technology partner and actual manufacturer of the Coolscreen system, making it the closest direct comparable in product and technology.
• Pratic: Italian premium pergola and outdoor living manufacturer. Comparable on aluminum pergolas and bioclimatic structures, with similar premium positioning and partner-network distribution.
• Weinor: German manufacturer of awnings, conservatory awnings, and pergolas. Direct comparable in product portfolio and partner-dealer distribution model serving European residential markets.

Broad incumbents

Emerging players
