SOMMER is a Germany-based manufacturer that produces premium garage door openers which are high quality and known for their durability. The company has always kept its focus on in-house innovation and manufacturing, using only components engineered and manufactured in Germany. The brand has a global presence with distribution in several countries around the world. Customers in North America are served by SOMMER’s U.S. division, SOMMER USA.
One of SOMMER’s standout features is its patented traveling motor technology, where the motor itself travels along a fixed chain, rather than a stationary motor pulling a chain or belt. This way, SOMMER openers have reduced friction, less wear, and tear, and operate quietly and smoothly. They are considered low-maintenance, which makes them perfect for garage doors attached to homes where noise level is a priority.
SOMMER has different product lines to cater to both residential and light commercial customers. The evo+ series is one of their most popular ones, you can adjust the lifting capacity and the speed and force of the door. pro+ series is built for doors that are heavier and have higher usage cycles, so it’s perfect for commercial applications. The base+ series is the simplest and most cost-effective of the three.
Other than the openers themselves, SOMMER offers a range of additional accessories that you can purchase. The brand’s openers are also known to integrate easily with many smart home systems. SOMMER devices are equipped with several safety and security features like auto-reverse and secure locking mechanisms with safety beams. They meet strict European and international safety standards.
