<\/i><\/div>
<\/div>
Expansion of warehouse<\/div>
\"\"<\/div>

Expansion of the company in Hartwagen. Due to increased customer orders, a further hall construction became necessary. Furthermore, a production with 5 production islands was integrated into the existing hall.<\/p>\n

This new manufacturing facility has enabled us to respond even more quickly and easily for our customers.<\/p>\n

Smaller batch sizes and heavy metal parts such as finished luminaire supports were from now on manufactured in Hartwagen and no longer in Hungary.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Agco Supplier Award<\/div>

<\/i><\/div>
<\/div>
Further expansion of production<\/div>

With constant new customers and requirements the production space in Hungary grew too small very quickly and a new hall was built here as well. Approx. 180 employees now produce all our lighting system parts on approx. 3300m\u00b2.<\/p>\n

More staff and simpler workflows due to more space guarantee cheaper and high-quality products, which our customers appreciate very much.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

2010<\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>
<\/div>
Corporate HQ established<\/div>
\"\"<\/div>

Many new parts, more personnel and new customers from all over Europe made a larger new building of a warehouse including offices necessary. Approx. 700m\u00b2 warehouse and 300m\u00b2 office space now give enough space for all requirements of our customers. Daily deliveries from our production facility in Hungary and weekly luminaire deliveries from Portugal make our facility a central point in Europe from where we can serve all our customers reliably and quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>
<\/div>
Relocation of production to Hungary<\/div>
\"\"<\/div>

Major customers from all over Europe made it necessary to expand production. In rented halls, about 250km southeast of Budapest, our lighting systems were produced from now on.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
Lighting systems<\/div>
\"\"<\/div>

Expansion of the product range through the production of our own lighting systems for cars, trucks and agricultural trailers - and also for machinery.
Our own and also customer-specific developments in the field of \"finished\" lighting systems very quickly made us one of the leading suppliers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
Business founded<\/div>
\"\"<\/div>
