Company Description
“EGLO IS A FAMILY ENTERPRISE WITH Tyrolean roots, but at home all over the world. The exciting blend of Austrian traditions and the various cultural influences from our distribution companies are the basis for our varied and creative product range.”
Ludwig Obwieser, Founder and Associate
Over the last years the EGLO group has evolved into one of the leading manufacturers of decorative interior lighting. Meanwhile, the company has become a major player on the world market: In current year more than 18 million luminaires were marketed in over 132 countries on all continents.
With about 90 per cent of the product range having been developed by us, EGLO ensures the greatest possible independence when introducing new product solutions and we are extremely competitive due to the high quality levels of our manufacturing plants in Hungary, China and India.
Apart from the EGLO brand – the corporate flagship – the following brands also belong to our enterprise spanning the globe:
DECO Licht Projekt – Founded in 1991, for the joint development of customized lighting concepts. EDI Light – Founded in 2004, concentrating on supplying industrial customers and discount markets.
1969 marks the starting signal for the EGLO success story: Ludwig Obwieser launches the enterprise “EGLO Leuchten”. In 1976 the inauguration of the first own manufacturing plant in Pill in the Tyrol / Austria is a further milestone.
In the mid 1980s EGLO has established itself as one of the leading European luminaire manufacturers. The company pushes the expansion into new markets, and in 1986 the first sales company is founded in Germany, as the first stepping stone on the path to the internationalization of EGLO. Due to the persistent development of new markets there are now more than 50 sales companies worldwide, all of which are mostly autonomous in their market operations.
Today, EGLO is one of the most successful providers worldwide of decorative lighting solution for residential purposes. This success is the best proof for the customer satisfaction, and we have every reason to be very proud of that.
