What clauss markisen Projekt GmbH Rauch- und Brandschutz does

clauss markisen Projekt GmbH, doing business as CM Projekt, is a privately held German limited liability company (GmbH) founded in 1946 and headquartered in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany. The firm designs and manufactures custom-made textile systems for two core applications: smoke and fire protection (including static and flexible smoke curtains and smoke/fire protection closures for building smoke compartmentation) and glare and sun protection (interior and exterior shading systems with insulating fabric technology). All systems are individually manufactured to project specifications and produced in accordance with the latest applicable German/European standards, with a performance declaration (Leistungserklärung) available for each system. A notable technical feature is a corner-routed smoke protection closure that achieves smoke compartmentation around building corners without requiring visible corner posts.

The company operates a consultative enterprise sales motion, engaging customers directly through website contact forms and email channels with no intermediaries. Project engagement follows a full A-Z service workflow covering consultation, planning, custom manufacturing, assembly/installation, and ongoing maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with each project treated as a bespoke engineering engagement. The company serves both public buildings (including government and institutional facilities) and private commercial buildings, with additional use cases for heritage-protected structures, underground parking garages, and airports. Named reference projects include Bitzer Headquarters in Sindelfingen and Dortmund Airport. The firm is privately owned, has 1-10 employees, and has no disclosed funding, M&A, or partnership activity on record.
