What Ingemann Components does

Ingemann Components A/S is a Denmark-headquartered manufacturer of optical, diffusive, and reflective components for the LED lighting industry, founded in 2002 in Bjæverskov by Niels Ingemann Møller and Birgit. The company engineers and produces a broad portfolio including MicroPrisms (with proprietary temilux®ID Pure), LED Diffusors, Light Guide Plates (including the sustainable Green Cast variant), Reflective Films, and Optical Films, using advanced laser micro-structuring, 3 and 5-axis milling, and cleanroom production with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification. Its primary customers are OEM lighting manufacturers, supplemented by lighting designers, healthcare providers, and specialized projects (e.g., circadian lighting for the International Space Station with SAGA Space Architects).

The business operates a B2B enterprise model combining direct field sales (Sales Director Jens Præstgård Møller and regional teams), sample-based demand generation, and channel partnerships — including an exclusive North American agency (OEM Lighting Sales) and a Berlin sales office for the DACH region. Revenue is generated through sale of manufactured optical components (hardware), pre-assembled optical kits (professional services), and in-house light measurement and CO2 Calculator services. The company employs approximately 30 people across Bjæverskov, Berlin, and a Shenzhen sourcing office.

In June 2024, Ingemann Components was acquired by LEDiL, a Finland-based global leader in secondary optics for LED lighting and a portfolio company of Swedish Ratos, creating a global "One-Stop Shopping" platform in optics. Reported annual revenue growth of 12–18% as of 2020, combined with active DACH and North American expansion and the LEDiL integration, positions Ingemann for continued scaling under Ratos ownership.

Products and services

• MicroPrisms Microprismatic optical components for glare control and light distribution in LED lighting applications, available in PMMA, PS, and proprietary variants including temilux ID Pure. Used by lighting manufacturers to meet UGR compliance and direct light distribution.
• LED Diffusors LED diffuser sheets and films that hide LED light sources while providing high light transmission and illumination angles. Includes the Ingemann Sky and Haze series as well as opal and volumetric diffuser variants for lighting manufacturers.
• LED Diffuser Films Optical LED diffuser films including volumetric, angle-bending, elliptical, beam-mixing, batwing, and glare control variants for OEM lighting manufacturers.
• Light Guide Plates (LGPs) Edge-lit lighting units with micro-structured surfaces that ensure uniform appearance and high efficiency while directing light in specified directions. Includes the Ingemann Green Cast LGP made from recycled PMMA with 70% CO2 reduction, extruded variants, tubes, bends, and advanced custom solutions for lighting manufacturers.
• Reflectors Reflective films and materials for improving luminaire efficiency with total reflectance of more than 97%, available as specular and diffuse variants in various thicknesses for lighting manufacturers.
• Plastics Plastic raw materials including acrylic extruded (CRYLON, AKRYLON), acrylic cast (CRYLUX), polycarbonate (Impex), polyester (Hipex G), polystyrene (PS UV), and foam for lighting and industrial applications.
• Optical Kitting Service Pre-assembled optical kits combining reflectors, light guide plates, diffusers, and microprisms, delivered ready for production line assembly with cleaning, quality control, and optional 100% homogeneity testing with measurement report.
• Light Measurements Service In-house laboratory service using a far-field goniometer (LabSpion-VisoSystems) capable of measuring luminaires up to 1,500mm and 25kg, providing photometric data including total luminous flux, UGR, color rendering, and comprehensive documentation reports.
• CO2 Calculator Tool Online tool that enables lighting designers and manufacturers to identify and evaluate the most CO2-friendly optical components for luminaire design without conducting a full Life Cycle Assessment.
