What Lampas does

Lampas is a Danish manufacturer of outdoor lighting fixtures, founded in 1971 and headquartered in Kolding, Denmark, operating as a subsidiary of HITSA-koncernen (HITSA Group). The company designs and produces park lamps, bollards, wall lamps, and street lights, primarily in metal, targeting specification-driven B2B buyers including municipalities, housing associations, utilities, and architectural firms across more than 10 international markets. Its product portfolio reflects 50+ years of accumulated Danish design heritage, recognized by industry awards including Red Dot: Best of the Best 2020 and Design Favoritter 2025, and includes the MIRUM L1400 line and an LED retrofit kit programme for modernizing legacy installations.

The business model is built on project-based premium B2B sales with fixtures priced in the DKK 8,000-11,000 range, distributed through an international agent and distributor network combined with direct specification relationships. In 2025, Lampas extended this model by launching a direct-to-consumer webshop, opening a retail channel alongside the historical tender-driven B2B flow. The company employs 51-100 people in Denmark and competes on industrial design, durability, and brand pedigree rather than on volume or low-cost manufacturing.
