Silga Sonnenschutz Gmbh

What Silga Sonnenschutz Gmbh does

Silga Sonnenschutz GmbH is a Swiss manufacturer of made-to-measure interior sun protection and insect protection products, headquartered in Wängi, Switzerland with an additional powder coating facility in Altenholz, Germany. The company operates as the exclusive Luxaflex® confectioneur (custom manufacturer) in Switzerland — a longstanding partnership with Hunter Douglas — and has been the exclusive Neher partner for insect protection since 2009. Silga's product range covers plissees, Duette® honeycomb blinds, jalousies, rollos, vertical lamellas, Twist® double rollos, Silhouette® fabric blinds, and wood blinds, complemented by Neher-branded insect screens (tension frames, revolving frames, swing doors, sliding systems, pleated doors, electric rollers, and light well covers) and custom RAL powder coating services.

The product platform is built on Hunter Douglas's EOS® (Effektiv Optimierte Systeme) standardization framework, which covers over 100 model variants and underpins consistent mounting across window types including special shapes. Differentiated technical features include closed-profile rails, oversized tension springs, magnetic locking, concealed brackets, integrated child-safety cord locks, and ceiling tension technology. Insect screens use Neher's Transpatec mesh (approximately 140% greater light and air passage than standard mesh), Polltec pollen protection (up to 99% effectiveness), and E-Smog shielding. Motorization is offered via PowerView® Gen 3 (Bluetooth 5.0, Matter-compatible), Bliss® Bluetooth motorization, and Somfy® motors pre-configured at the factory, with smart-home integration across Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, and Homematic IP.

Silga operates a strict B2B2C channel with no direct-to-consumer sales: products are sold exclusively through registered specialist dealers (Fachhändler) in Switzerland who handle consultation, on-site measurement, ordering, and installation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is accessed by dealers via a dedicated portal offering digital price lists, technical documents, training seminars, and the Neher Bestellfix® ordering tool. Revenue derives from one-time product sales of made-to-measure window treatments to dealers, plus powder coating services. The company is privately held, employs 1–10 people, and concentrates its distribution within Switzerland while retaining a German production footprint.
