Company Description

Somfy made its money by turning a blind eye to business. Somfy designs, produces, and markets automatic controls and motors for awnings, roller shutters, and interior blinds. Applications for Somfy's motors and control systems range from small home set-ups to industrial networks for large office buildings. Somfy's awnings can be operated via a remote control or automatically with the wind and solar control function, depending on weather conditions. Europe is by far the company's largest geographical segment, representing about 85% of sales. The family of management board chairman Paul-Georges Despature holds the majority of Somfy's shares and its voting rights through J.P.J. SCA.

    Competitive Landscape Brief

    Industrial and manufacturing companies drive demand. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient production. Small companies can compete by specializing. While larger companies, like GE, produce mainly a standard line of products, smaller companies are more likely to adapt products for customers' special needs. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is about $300,000. Exports of motors and generators, which represent about half of US production, go primarily to Mexico and Canada. Imports account for more than 60 percent of the US market. Mexico is the largest foreign supplier of motors and generators to the US market.
