Motorized shading has become a growing part of any home automation or smart home system offering enhanced solar and lighting control capabilities for better temperature control and ambient comfort as part of an overall enhanced HVAC system. While there are several brands out there providing shading products, J Geiger is distinguished by offering a design-forward look and appeal.
Savant has been partnered with J Geiger for more than six years now, as Savant integrators appreciate the easy-to-install, sleek, modern but organic look of the various series of shading solutions offered by the company. Now, Savant has sought to take the relationship to the next level, acquiring the assets of J Geiger Shading and making it part of the Savant ecosystem.
Best in Class Lighting & Energy Solutions
We continually look for ways to expand and enhance our offering to bring more value to our dealers and their customers. Adding J Geiger to our portfolio emphasizes our commitment to providing best-in-class lighting and energy solutions across the entire smart home category today and into the future.”
Bob Madonna, Savant Systems CEO
Charleston, SC-based J Geiger Shading was founded in 2011 and according to the announcement by Savant “…has been an industry leader in delivering shading systems that are thoughtfully designed and provide a sleek minimalistic look that accents a home’s architecture instead of hiding it.”
The Partners are in Perfect Alignment
Savant noted in its announcement that J Geiger is an excellent partner for the company as its “design approach and craftsmanship aligns perfectly with Savant’s ability to deliver the best possible smart home experience, including the Savant app’s award-winning Daylight Mode, designed to seamlessly blend natural and artificial lighting.”
The company also calls out the fact that J Geiger shades contribute to and augment its other energy and climate control capabilities to help the smart home be more energy efficient. Says the announcement, “The ability to control heat with proper shading plays a significant role in reducing energy use, particularly in warmer geographies around the globe.”
No Disruption in Business Activities
With this transaction, all Savant integrators are assured of continuing access to J Geiger shades, including new model announcements coming this quarter. The company also assures other J Geiger Shading customers that they will continue to have ongoing access to the brand with the same degree of sales and support to which they are accustomed.

Hi Ted;
There is certainly a disruption to business as all of the J Geiger reps have been terminated. I would say that creates disruption.
