I have no idea, unfortunately
Those were installed 8-10 years ago and there is little chance that the receipt hasn't been thrown out.
A fast search of the local market suggests ~US$100 per square meter, but I don't know what level of quality you get for that price.

They might also keep the sun out of the stores windows during the day if partially closed. In many countries in southern Europe roller shutters that swing out are quite popular:

The ones at Grandma's are operated by pulling a rope. There can also be a crank to make it easier, or an electric motor. Some versions (made to be closed from the outside, like stores) use a long rod.
