FlexScreen is an American window screen technology company and product brand known for developing the world’s first flexible window screen frame system. Founded by inventor and entrepreneur Joe Altieri, the company manufactures flexible window screens designed to improve durability, installation, shipping efficiency, and homeowner usability compared to traditional aluminum-framed screens.
FlexScreen gained national recognition after appearing on the television program Shark Tank. In 2025, private investment firm Seven Point Equity Partners acquired FlexScreen and merged the company with The RiteScreen Company LLC, creating a combined organization focused on window and door screen manufacturing, innovation, licensing, and automation.
History
FlexScreen was invented by Joe Altieri in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, after years of experience in the window and door screen industry. The concept was developed to address common issues associated with traditional aluminum window screens, including bent frames, shipping damage, difficult installation, and limited durability.
The product utilizes a spring steel core coated in flexible PVC material, allowing the screen frame to flex during installation and return to its original shape. The invention was designed to eliminate many of the common failure points associated with rigid screen frames.
FlexScreen officially launched commercially in the 2010s and initially focused on OEM window manufacturers, replacement window companies, and licensing partnerships.
Shark Tank appearance
FlexScreen received national attention after appearing on Shark Tank, where Joe Altieri pitched the product to investors. Investor Lori Greiner invested in the company during the episode.
The appearance significantly increased consumer awareness and industry visibility for the FlexScreen brand. The company later appeared in follow-up segments highlighting its growth and expansion.
Acquisition and merger
In 2025, Seven Point Equity Partners acquired FlexScreen and merged it with The RiteScreen Company LLC. The merger combined FlexScreen’s patented flexible screen technology and licensing platform with RiteScreen’s large-scale manufacturing and distribution capabilities.
Following the merger, the combined organization positioned FlexScreen as its innovation-focused brand platform while leveraging RiteScreen’s operational infrastructure and manufacturing network.
The merged company serves OEM, B2B, licensing, and aftermarket channels throughout North America and international markets.

The product is manufactured using proprietary materials and production methods, including specialized mesh welding processes and automated manufacturing systems.
