Premium Retractable Awnings for Commercial & Residential Spaces
Uni Systems, founded in 1968, has pioneered kinetic architecture for over five decades, delivering transformative mechanized structures that adapt to climate, need, or purpose. Our expertise stems from groundbreaking projects like the Apollo Space Program's rocket movement systems and retractable stadium roofs for major league sports venues. With the launch of En-Fold in 2012, we brought our stadium-grade retractable awning technology to commercial and residential applications, combining precision engineering with architectural elegance. Our team of multidisciplinary engineers ensures every project integrates durability, weather resistance, and intelligent automation, backed by a 50-year legacy of innovation and reliability. We prioritize client satisfaction through customizable solutions, from pre-designed units to fully tailored systems, ensuring optimal functionality and aesthetic alignment with each client's space.

Our commitment to quality is reflected in materials like architectural-grade fabrics, patented Tru-Tension technology, and finishes engineered for longevity, even in extreme weather conditions. With a proven track record of on-time delivery and a focus on sustainable practices, we empower clients to create versatile outdoor environments that generate measurable returns on investment. Our remote diagnostics and maintenance services further ensure long-term operational efficiency, while partnerships with financing providers offer accessible investment options. Headquartered in Minneapolis, we serve global markets, applying the same rigorous standards that made us leaders in large-scale kinetic structures to every En-Fold installation. This heritage of excellence positions us as trusted advisors in retractable awning systems, blending technical mastery with client-centric service.
