Somfy Smart Home Solutions

Somfy is a global leader in the automatic control of openings and closures in homes and buildings. Founded in 1969, the brand originated in the Arve Valley in Haute-Savoie, France, a region renowned for its precision mechanics. The company initially focused on developing motors for awnings and roller shutters, eventually pioneering the first tubular motor, which transformed the industry.

Today, Somfy provides a comprehensive range of smart home solutions, including automated blinds, curtains, garage doors, and security systems. While its headquarters remains in Cluses, France, its manufacturing footprint is global, with major production sites strategically located to serve European, African, and Asian markets. The brand is recognized for its commitment to energy efficiency and the 'Connected Home' movement, integrating its products with major IoT platforms.

Following a successful simplified public tender offer in 2023, Somfy transitioned from a publicly traded company to a private entity under the total control of the Despature family. This ownership structure ensures long-term stability and a continued focus on innovation in motorization and automation technologies.
