What Renson does

Renson is a Belgian family-owned manufacturer founded in 1909, headquartered in Waregem, Belgium, that designs and produces ventilation, solar shading, pergola, wall cladding and carport systems for residential and select commercial buildings. The product portfolio spans four pillars: mechanical and demand-driven ventilation (Healthbox 3.0 with multi-room sensor-based airflow control, window vents, night cooling, extraction fans), outdoor solar shading (Fixscreen windproof zip-screens up to 130 km/h, the solar-powered Fixscreen Solar variant, and brise-soleil structural shading), outdoor living structures (Camargue louvered pergolas, freestanding/lean-to/fixed pergola variants and aluminum carports, including the Corradi-acquired pavilion line), and aluminum façade cladding (Linius horizontal and Linarte vertical, the latter with new Wood Design finishes). Underlying the portfolio are proprietary technologies including the Fixscreen zip-screen system, Connect&Go screwless installation, Smooth rail technology, Solmate automatic screen control, and Acoudec acoustic dampening.

Renson operates a B2B2C go-to-market: products are sold via a global network of more than 1,800 official distributors and 230 Premium Ambassadors across 25+ countries (with regional offices in Waregem, Carrollton TX, New York, and Osborne Park Australia), supplemented by company-owned showrooms, an online dealer locator, and architect/professional resources. Pricing is custom and quote-based, factoring in product type, dimensions, materials, controls and installation. The group is consolidating the healthy-building category through acquisitions, including Italian outdoor-living brand Corradi and smart-building automation specialist OpenMotics (which powers the My-Lio platform and integrates with Somfy Tahoma). The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors.
