In 2022, SOMFY made good progress in the exterior and solar markets. It integrated the Italian player Teleco Automation and launched its new RS100 Solar io motor. With this expanded offering, the Group is well-positioned to catch the wave in both markets and boost growth.

Responding to the booming exterior market

After the health crisis, consumers regained interest in outdoor living is proving to be a long-term trend. SOMFY responds with a complete and innovative solution that integrates sensors, awning motors, and equipment connectivity. To cover this market’s needs, SOMFY acquired 75% of the shares of Teleco Automation, the leader in automation systems for bioclimatic pergolas. Together, they will provide pergola, awning, and conservatory manufacturers with a value proposition based on Somfy's io-homecontrol® technology. The Group will benefit from Teleco's expertise in customization; lighting management for pergolas, awnings, and conservatories; and solution integration to expand its playground and offer customers additional services and innovations. With this strong brand, we aim to become the benchmark partner for exterior automation in the European and North American markets.

Exterior is a high-value market where the average manufacturer's basket is much higher than elsewhere. SOMFY is legitimate to develop its presence in this high-end segment

The sun: Getting protection and reaping its benefits

Successive heat waves and soaring energy prices make sun protection products popular with consumers. When these solutions are automated, connected, and solar-powered, comfort becomes sustainable. By 2025, the Group aims to become the benchmark in solar motorization by selling 15% of solar tubular motors. A new step has just been taken with the launch of the RS100 Solar io motor, a mainstay of the Somfy catalog, aimed primarily at the renovation market. Silent, intelligent, reliable, and installable without requiring modifications, its solar-powered battery provides at least 45 days of autonomy. The eco-designed RS100 Solar io is Act For Green certified. It can be combined with the Smart Comfort function on TaHoma® to automatically trigger the rolling shutters to adapt to sunlight. In winter, the shutter opens to let the sun warm inside; in summer, it closes to keep the coolness inside without using air conditioning.

The solar shutter market is booming, and the new RS 100 solar io motorization provides our customers with an innovative, easy-to-install, and silent solution. Coupled with Smart Comfort, it provides advanced automatic shutter management for greater comfort and energy savings.
