Impact LD & Lumiverre

What Impact LD & Lumiverre does

Impact LD & Lumiverre S.A. is a Geneva-based lighting design and manufacturing firm operating from Carouge, Switzerland. The company was formed in 2016 through the merger of LUMIVERRE S.A. (founded 1958, specializing in luminaire sales and custom integration) and IMPACT Lighting Design S.A. (founded 2009, specializing in lighting studies and audits). It subsequently joined CATYPH Holding, a diversified group operating across multiple building trades, which underpins its current strategic positioning.

The company operates four interconnected service pillars: (i) Etude, project study services including light studies, architectural plans, 3D visualizations, simulations, and technical documentation with SIA compliance certification; (ii) Conception et Fabrication, custom luminaire design and in-house assembly using a technical bureau and workshop, including heritage-refit and relamping services that preserve original fixture authenticity; (iii) Fournisseur de toute marque, wholesale distribution of multi-brand lighting products with logistics management, including principal Swiss distributor status for the French manufacturer LITED; and (iv) Assistance aux M.O., project follow-up including on-site technical supervision, maintenance team training, and after-sales advisory. Core technology centers on LED lighting, DALI dimmable controls, and 3D design visualization, with documented capability for industrializing custom luminaires for large-scale projects.

Revenue is generated through project-based sales-led engagement targeting architects, project owners, engineering firms, SMEs, associations, international organizations, and private clients in Geneva and Switzerland. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by project scope and customization. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales for custom fabrication and consulting with wholesale distribution for branded products. The company maintains a LinkedIn presence and a blog featuring technical case studies as top-of-funnel marketing, with named reference projects including the JTI world headquarters in Geneva.
