Acrilux

What Acrilux does

Acrilux S.R.L. is an Italian industrial manufacturer specializing in technopolymer (engineering plastic) components for the global lighting industry. Founded in 1966 as part of the Fratelli Guzzini industrial group (established 1912), the company is headquartered in Recanati, Italy, and employs 11-50 people. Its core manufacturing capabilities include injection molding, injection-blow molding (pioneered by the company in the late 1970s), and thermoforming of acrylic and polycarbonate materials.

The company's product portfolio spans standard catalog items—including globes, shapes, screens, refractors, diffusers, and accessories—alongside custom-engineered components developed in partnership with OEM customers. Notable proprietary systems include the LCS (Light Control System) for reducing light pollution, the Top-Down ATON System for urban LED fixtures with IP66/IK10 ratings, and the compact Urban Mini LED component family. Acrilux holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management.

Acrilux operates a B2B OEM go-to-market model, selling directly to luminaire manufacturers worldwide through enterprise field sales relationships. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of standard products, custom component manufacturing projects (including industrialization and bespoke tooling), and tooling equipment production. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed. The company serves both Italian and international markets, with no external investment, funding rounds, or M&A activity detected in available sources.
