What ZALUX does

ZALUX, S.A. is a Spanish industrial lighting manufacturer founded in 1980 and headquartered in Zaragoza, Spain, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the TRILUX Group since 2000. The company designs and manufactures LED luminaires for two core product lines: weatherproof luminaires built to resist dust, moisture, extreme temperatures, and chemical exposure (IPX5-X6 rated), and ATEX/IECEx-certified explosion-proof luminaires for hazardous environments in oil & gas, chemical, energy, and other process industries. Manufacturing is concentrated across three plants totaling 42,000m2 in Alhama de Aragón, Zaragoza, covering plastic injection, metalwork, automated wiring, 20 LED assembly lines, electronic component assembly, and a 10,000m2 warehouse, supported by an in-house testing laboratory for thermal, endurance, humidity, impact, and safety tests.

The business model is direct B2B hardware sales to industrial customers and EPC contractors, complemented by OEM services, luminaire kits, components, and accessories. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with engineered industrial lighting specifications. Customer segmentation is vertical-led, prioritising hazardous-environment industrial operators (ATEX) and EPC contractors, with secondary application in industrial manufacturing and agriculture/horticulture. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EN ISO 14021, CE, CB Test, ATEX, IECEx, and HACCP certifications, joined the UN Global Compact Spain in May 2025, and holds the Aragon RSA/RSA+ corporate social responsibility seal.

Recent strategic activity indicates a measured but multi-pronged expansion push: a Dubai sales and support branch opened on September 1, 2025 to capture Middle East ATEX demand; David Franch was appointed Managing Director in January 2026; Environmental Product Reports compliant with EN ISO 14021 were launched in September 2025; and approximately 787 kWp of photovoltaic capacity has been deployed across the Alhama I and II plants under the ZALUX NEXT 2026 strategy, partially funded by EU NextGenerationEU. The company is the largest employer in its region with 355 workers and positions itself as the European leader in waterproof luminaires, with no disclosed revenue, funding, or M&A activity.

Direct peers

• Glamox: Norwegian specialist in energy-efficient lighting for harsh environments, with a portfolio of weatherproof and explosion-proof luminaires serving oil & gas, marine, and industrial markets. Direct competitor to ZALUX across both weatherproof and ATEX product lines, with similar end-customer focus on EPC contractors and industrial end users.
• R. STAHL: German specialist in explosion-protected electrical equipment, including ATEX/IECEx-certified luminaires for hazardous areas in oil & gas, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Closest direct peer to ZALUX's hazardous-location product line, sharing the same ATEX/IECEx regulatory orientation and customer set.
• Adolf Schuch GmbH: German manufacturer of industrial and explosion-proof luminaires for harsh and hazardous environments (oil & gas, chemical, energy). Directly comparable to ZALUX on ATEX-certified product range and European industrial customer base, with overlapping EPC-contractor go-to-market.
• Dialight: UK/US-based specialist in industrial LED lighting, including hazardous-location luminaires for oil & gas, mining, and heavy industry. Direct peer to ZALUX in the ATEX/harsh-environment LED niche, competing for similar EPC and industrial end-user specifications.
• Siteco (Zumtobel Group): Industrial and outdoor lighting brand within the Zumtobel Group, serving infrastructure, industry, and public-space projects. Comparable to ZALUX's industrial/weatherproof product positioning and to a lesser extent its hazardous-location range, with a larger corporate parent behind it.
• Teknoware: Finnish manufacturer of lighting solutions for public transport vehicles, marine, and industrial applications, including harsh-environment luminaires. Comparable to ZALUX on the weatherproof/industrial side of the portfolio, though more focused on vehicle and marine end markets.

Broad incumbents

• Cooper Lighting Solutions (Signify): Industrial, commercial, and outdoor lighting portfolio within Signify (Philips), including hazardous-location fixtures. Overlaps ZALUX's industrial customer set but operates as part of a much broader lighting platform rather than specializing in the ATEX/harsh-environment niche.
• Signify (Philips Lighting): World's largest lighting company with industrial, professional, and consumer portfolios including ATEX-certified luminaires under Philips and other brands. Overlaps ZALUX on industrial/ATEX specifications but competes across a far wider product and services footprint.
• Zumtobel Group: Austrian lighting group with industrial (Siteco/Thorn) and architectural lighting brands serving Europe and beyond. Comparable to ZALUX in European industrial lighting but with a much larger portfolio and channel breadth.
• Legrand: Global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructure, including industrial and hazardous-location lighting through its industrial product range. Adjacent peer that competes in industrial lighting projects but bundles lighting into a much broader wiring and electrical-systems portfolio.
