SmartZip® elero (Most Silent Motor in the Industry)

elero is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of electric drives and control units for intelligent building automation. A second business unit in Pößneck, Thuringia, develops and manufactures electric linear actuators. The drive manufacturer is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Italian Nice group, which specialises in the roller shutter and sun protection sector within Nice.

The company, based in Schlierbach near Stuttgart, was founded in 1964. “No more pulling roller shutters by hand” – this simple thought was what got elero started. Since then, the company has made that its mission: roller shutters, awnings, venetian blinds, textile screens, roller blinds and rolling doors electrically at the touch of a button. From the workshop of yesteryear, a global player has emerged that regularly sets new standards in home automation.
