What Fereks does

FEREKS (legal entity ООО ТД Ферекс) is a Russian LED luminaire manufacturer founded in 2001 and headquartered in Kazan, Republic of Tatarstan. The company designs and produces more than 5,000 product variants across industrial (FHB, DSO, DPP, FFL, WHEEL, FLT 2.0, UNIBAY), outdoor/street (DKU 2.0, FLS/FLS 02), architectural (FWL, L-line, DBU), indoor/office (SSV/SSV Lite, L-office Balance, FPL), park/public space (FSP), and explosion-protected (Ex-FTN, Ex-DPP, Ex-FHB) categories. Core technology centers on Japanese Nichia LEDs combined with proprietary in-house drivers developed by LEDEL, with claimed energy efficiency up to 140 lm/W and 100,000-hour service life; the company holds 33 international patents and is ISO 9001-certified.

The commercial model combines one-time hardware sales, professional services (lighting audits, photometric calculations, installation supervision), and Energy Service Contracts (ESC) where FEREKS finances the modernization and is repaid from energy savings — a structure particularly relevant for Russian government procurement under Federal Law 44-FZ. Go-to-market is multi-channel: direct enterprise field sales through regional managers covering all eight Russian federal districts plus CIS and selected European markets, regional dealer partners (FEREKS-Center, FEREKS-Urals, FEREKS-Amur, FEREKS-Chernozemye, FEREKS-South), an online partner self-serve portal (cabinet.fereks.ru), and implementation partners such as CityExpert and APEX-Energy.

FEREKS joined IEK GROUP in 2022 as a flagship professional-lighting brand alongside LEDEL (which joined IEK GROUP in 2019), IEK, and ARFA. FEREKS is registered in the Russian Honest Mark (Честный знак) DataMatrix product tracing system, achieved voluntary fire safety certification in 2026, and as of 2024 is constructing a new production-logistics complex in Kazan. Named reference customers include ABB (Yekaterinburg), Pirelli (Voronezh), Kemerovo Azot, SMAK Bakery, the Moscow Region Central Ring Road (TsKAD-3), Irkutsk Airport Terminal 3, and the Magnitogorsk outdoor lighting modernization (22,000 luminaires under ESC).
