What Fabas Luce does

Fabas Luce S.p.A. is an Italian lighting manufacturer founded in 1984 and headquartered in Brugherio (province of Monza e Brianza), with a wholly-owned German subsidiary (Fabas Luce GmbH) in Arnsberg serving the DACH region. The company designs and manufactures LED lighting products spanning decorative residential fixtures (suspensions, wall, ceiling, floor, and table lamps), technical indoor and outdoor lighting, architectural solutions, and specialized naval and marine lighting through its Fabas Naval sub-brand. Its product platform is anchored by two proprietary systems: the KitLuci modular system with over 4,000 customizable configurations, and the ERMES 48V low-voltage electrified track system that bridges technical and decorative applications. The company operates four sub-brands — Fabas Naval, La Mia Luce, and Smart Luce — alongside the core Fabas Luce range, and supports customer projects through its in-house ATILED lighting design studio with twelve years of cross-sector experience.

The company sells exclusively through specialized B2B resellers and does not engage in direct-to-consumer distribution; a dedicated Fabas HUB portal supports the reseller channel. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of fixtures and modular systems, with pricing conducted via pro-forma and sales invoices rather than publicly disclosed price lists. End-customer demand is split between residential buyers (decorative, IP44 bathroom/outdoor) and professional/commercial buyers (retail chains, shopping centers, airports, hospitals, offices, and naval/marine), with notable project references including the Italian Navy training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Milan Linate and Malpensa airport duty-free installations, and VR-BANK offices in Germany. The company employs 101-250 people, holds 2,596+ SKUs in its catalog, and has installed a 116.38 kWp photovoltaic system for autonomous clean energy production at its headquarters. Ownership is private with no disclosed external funding or institutional investors, and the firm is led by Managing Directors Stefano Giberti and Fabio Castelli.
