Sol-Lux Appoints Synapse as Manufacturer Representative for MINK Territory

Broomfield, CO – March 10, 2026 – Sol-Lux, a subsidiary of Carefree of Colorado (the global leader in RV awnings) with over 50 years of awning engineering and manufacturing experience, has appointed Synapse as its manufacturer representative for the MINK territory (Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas).


With established roots in the CEDIA channel, Synapse will represent Sol-Lux’s portfolio of premium outdoor retractable shading solutions, including patio awnings, the EOS autonomous window awning, and MiraSol drop screens. The partnership enhances regional sales and technical support for integrators delivering high-performance indoor-outdoor living environments.  


“Synapse brings the dealer relationships and hands-on engagement that drive real adoption in the field,” said Steve Brous, National Sales Manager at Sol-Lux. “Many integrators are already working in outdoor environments. Our focus is helping them elevate that offering with purpose-built shading solutions that integrate seamlessly into their projects, increase overall system value, and create new revenue opportunities.”


The Synapse team supports integrators with specification assistance, jobsite collaboration, training, and ongoing technical resources, reinforcing shading as a performance-driven component of the connected home. For dealers newer to outdoor categories, the partnership provides structured support to confidently enter the space. For experienced outdoor integrators, it offers a differentiated shading platform engineered to complement lighting, audio, control, and architectural systems.  


“Outdoor projects continue to evolve, and shading plays a larger role in comfort, design and system performance,” said Trent Mulligan, President of Synapse. “Sol-Lux delivers a well-engineered, premium solution that aligns with the technologies our dealers already specify. We look forward to supporting our partners with the tools and training needed to successfully position shading as a strategic part of their outdoor projects.”


As demand grows for fully integrated indoor-outdoor environments, Sol-Lux continues to strengthen its national representative network, ensuring dealers receive localized support backed by U.S.-based manufacturing and long-standing engineering expertise.


Sol-Lux will also participate in Synapse’s upcoming Midwest Tech Events, providing dealers the opportunity to experience its outdoor retractable shading solutions firsthand and connect with both teams.
