1968 - 1969 Birth of the first roller blind made in Italy  

Suncover was born in the '60s from the idea of its owners, Piccioni Tommaso and Finelli Giuseppe to import in Italy the first roller blind.
At the turn of 1968-1969, SUNCOVER thus presents to the market the first blind Italian spring.
A product that draws its origins from an exclusive Suncover invention patent that concerns the automatic stop of blinds spring-loaded roller shutters.
Over the years the product has evolved into different types of products and applications giving rise to the first insect screen roll up  with head box in the world.

70s

These are the years of development and change and from prevalent commercial activity we move on to the production of increasingly complex original blinds techniques.

In recent years, for the first time on the Italian market, a complete range of technical roller shutter products for sun protection and shading is presented.
The activity, born in the center of Bologna soon needs more and more space, and so it moves to the suburbs, near Funo di Argelato, in the province of Bologna.
Here the company is transformed from a mainly personal activity of the owners into an organized structure, with the implementation of personnel, production and commercial departments.
Participation in the SAIEDUE trade fair in Bologna begins with large stands.
The activity expands further and in 1978 Suncover purchases a plot of land in the new industrial area of S. Giorgio di Piano, in the province of Bologna, where the current plant will be built.
There are also some export offices , in Latin America and Cairo.

1980s

In 1980 SUNCOVER, which grew in size, became a limited liability company.
The Suncover brand is promoted and launched with prestigious advertising campaigns in magazines and on television.
The computerization and reorganization of production processes allow the company to move from a purely artisan production to an industrial production on order, tailored and personalized for each customer.
Producing extremely handcrafted products in an industrial way becomes a great feature of ours.

90s

These are the years of the expansion of Italian and foreign markets, computerisation and globalisation.
Zanzakit is born, the insect screen quality assembly kit, which opens up the international retail market to Suncover.
In 1996, SUNCOVER obtained, first in the sector, the Certification of conformity to UNI EN ISO 9001.
A natural evolution of the production processes already intrinsically present and implemented in the company. The Technical and Informatics Areas are enhanced with cutting-edge technology and specialized personnel.

In 1997, Suncover launched Compacta and Integra.
