When French-based Serge Ferrari was founded in 1973, its primary focus was on building composite materials for technical applications. As pioneers in fabrication through their proprietary Précontraint technology, Serge Ferrari has expanded its expertise to a wide range of industries in more than 80 countries. Although the company is known for their work in modular structures, acoustic solutions, upholstery and even inflatable crafts, it’s their work in solar protection that makes them an industry reference.

Outdoor shades, vertical blinds and awnings showcase the same Soltis fabric to reduce up to 96 percent of heat while staying resistant to rain, UV-rays and extreme weather conditions.
