Nordic light

What Nordic light does

Nordic Light designs, manufactures, and markets lighting solutions for retail and commercial environments, with core applications in supermarkets, outdoor commercial spaces, fashion retail, pharmacy, and café/service station settings. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Skellefteå, Sweden, the company operates as part of ITAB Group and sells under both the Nordic Light and onred sub-brands. Its product portfolio spans retail lighting, sound, retail technology, retail interior solutions, and retail services, integrating third-party smart control standards including Casambi and DALI for dimming and scene management.

The customer base is global and enterprise-oriented, with named deployments including Gebr. Heinemann (travel retail), Rossmann (drugstore), Thalia (books), Lavazza (267-location café rollout), Sapori & Dintorni CONAD (grocery), and Amsterdam Cheese Company. The company pursues a direct enterprise sales model across multiple continents, supported by a digital platform available in eight European languages and confirmed participation in EuroShop 2026. A partnership with Audio Pro extends the offering into combined lighting-and-sound retail experiences, signaling an intent to evolve from single-category supplier toward integrated retail environment provider within the ITAB Group portfolio.

Commercial mechanics are project-based: lighting specifications are embedded in store fit-outs and refit cycles, with revenue tied to multi-location rollout programs rather than transactional volume. Pricing and contract structure are not disclosed. No headcount, revenue, or backlog figures are publicly available, and the absence of disclosed proprietary AI/ML capability positions the company as a design-and-manufacturing specialist rather than a technology-platform play. The ITAB parent context implies shared retail-channel infrastructure and cross-selling opportunities with sibling ITAB business units.
