Your markilux company

markilux is a nationally and internationally active German company with around 400 employees. We specialise in the manufacture of customised designer awnings for discerning customers. Your markilux brand is one of the leading companies in the sun protection industry in Germany. We have been manufacturing awnings in Emsdetten for over 50 years.

Have you always wanted to see how an awning is made?

Then take the opportunity to look behind the scenes at Your markilux on 21 September. During a tour of the company, you can not only experience the awnings live in the showroom, but also see how our awnings are manufactured as part of a factory tour.

Together with TV Emsdetten, we have organised a competition. Try your luck at the throwing machine and, with a bit of luck, win a prize.

Food & drinks

A pizza trolley and a drinks stand offer a little refreshment in between.

General information
about the maker day

"Emsdetten opens up"
is the motto of this year's Open Business Day. As the event is intended to have an open character, it is not necessary to register in advance. Simply come along when it suits you. This gives you flexibility and allows you to spontaneously decide when you want to visit which company on the day.

Bus shuttle

All participating companies are connected by a shuttle bus service. Visitors can use the stops set up for the day in front of the participating companies. Neighbouring companies may be approached together.

The bus will run a circular route in Emsdetten from 12.00 to 18.30 so that all passengers always arrive back at their starting point (waiting times of max. 15 minutes).

In addition to the car parks in the city centre, two parking areas will be signposted as P&R areas (egeplast and parking pallet at the railway station), where parking is free of charge and which are also linked to the bus tour.

The programme flyer will include a local map with the locations of the participating companies, bus stops, parking spaces and any other important information.

The timetable will be published here.
