What Veko Lightsystems International does

Veko Lightsystems International BV is a Netherlands-based specialist in LED linear lighting for industrial and commercial spaces, founded in 1975 and headquartered in Schagen with manufacturing on-site. The company's core offering is a proprietary aluminium-profile lighting system — extruded rails serve as both structural mounting and thermal management, with LED fixtures (Magnus, Duncan, Rowan, Hilde) clipped in and replaceable without removing the rail. This architecture is designed for a 40+ year profile life and a guaranteed 1-5 year customer payback through 50-90% energy savings versus fluorescent lighting, with LED fixtures rated up to 100,000 hours (L85B10) and DEKRA-certified at 180 lm/W. Complementary products include the Leon decentralized emergency lighting unit (launched November 2025 with ELP), the Veko Tune app, and a DALI-based Light Management System integrated with Encelium and Lunatone for presence detection, daylight control, automated emergency testing, and 24/7 remote service.

Veko sells primarily through project-based B2B channels: account managers create custom DIALux lighting plans, run on-site trial setups, and manage installation through a certified Veko mounting-partner network. It also distributes certain products (notably Leon) through resellers. Customers are European enterprises across distribution and warehousing, manufacturing, cold storage, data centres, sports facilities, parking, and retail — named accounts include Royal FloraHolland (25-year partnership extended in November 2025), Smurfit Kappa, Kompany, D-Log Essen, and Airbus via Custers Hydraulics. Revenue is generated from hardware sales, professional installation services, custom lighting design, and increasingly from annual DALI/LMS subscriptions. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Swedish listed lighting conglomerate Fagerhult Group, has 101-250 employees, and operates European offices in the Netherlands (HQ/manufacturing), Germany (Duisburg), and Belgium. Leadership transitioned in February 2025 with Elmer Bruijnooge's permanent appointment as Managing Director after serving as Interim MD and prior CFO.
