With over 20 years in in the blinds and shades industry, Smartshade has gone from a family-run business selling components from the founder's kitchen to the multi-national company covering all of Ireland and the UK. The growth of the company in the last 12 years has been aided by a strong partnership with Coulisse and has really flourished in the last 5 years with the introduction of Motionblinds smart technology.

Why Coulisse? Conor enthuses, “Motionblinds has really exploded for us. It is such a well-designed product, which offers a great experience for both the end user and installer. It has certainly attracted new product lines and new markets for us”.

He adds “In any industry it is difficult to find a company to work with that not only shares your vision, but supports you and collaborates with you every step of the way. Coulisse’s positive and friendly energetic attitude along with the superb quality of their product and innovation makes the decision to work with them the single best decision our company has made. They are the full package. The service is premium. The products are second to none. We have the same mindset and work on the same level. Always keen to learn and evolve together for the best end results.”
