The Italian company, which is based in the Lombardy Region, Northern Italy, is active in the field of electronics and manufactures niche LED products. Its products found application in several fields, such as interior plant lighting, fishing, fire-fighting trucks and vehicles.
• Interior lighting of plants is needed for all indoor gardening applications, vertical gardens, greenhouses, pink houses
• Normally the indoor ambient light is much weaker than what is needed by plants to grow and stay healthy. Several spectra have been developed to satisfy conflicting needs as light pleasantness, plant metabolic needs, power consumption. All terrestrial plants can be grown, as well as edible algae (spirulina). A typical application is architectural lighting, pharmaceutical greenhouses and growth cells, genetic research.
• Several fish species are attracted by the light since light promotes the growth of phytoplankton, a food for such species. The fishing light attractor is a system composed of several LED sources, which is built according to naval legislation. It is designed to replace traditional systems based on incandescent lamps, with a largely improved reliability and reduced power consumption, opening the way to battery-operated systems, for which a patent is granted.
• Tank level indicators, LED sources for telescopic masts and towers and other application for fire-fighting vehicles and trucks. These products fulfil several requirements, like the capability to be seen for large distance, withstand water pressurized jets, being connected to the vehicle CAN-bus (Controller Area Network).
The company is keen on establishing commercial agency agreements or distribution services agreements to enhance its presence abroad. The company is interested in broadening and diversifying its client base through the action of the foreign partners, whose help to enter foreign markets is needed. The role of a partner will be to promote and distribute the solution through his channels. The company will be responsible for supplying foreign partners with the full catalogue and technical specification of the offered lighting devices, and for manufacturing the ordered ones. The partner could also be an end-user such as technicians, designers etc.
