What AQForm does

AQForm (legal name Aquaform Inc. Sp. z o.o.) is a Polish designer and manufacturer of modern architectural LED lighting solutions, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Czernichów near Kraków, Poland. The company operates from a single manufacturing and R&D site that includes a ~3,600m² Research and Development Center with dedicated testing laboratories where luminaires are designed, tested, examined, and produced end-to-end. The product portfolio spans integrated LED and replaceable-source (E27, GU10) luminaires across mounting types — suspended, recessed, surface-mounted, track-mounted, wall-mounted, and exterior — plus complete 3F (three-phase) and low-voltage track lighting systems. System families such as MIXLINE, RAFTER, ALULINE, TRU, OPTIMA, BEADS, and PIPER address modular commercial specifications, while the AQfelt sub-brand extends into acoustic lighting combining felt panels with LED sources.

The company serves five primary use-case segments: residential interiors, office/workspaces, hospitality, retail/showrooms, and healthcare/medical facilities. Customers are reached through an authorized distributor network spanning at least 18 European countries plus direct engagement with architects and lighting designers as specification influencers via a dedicated "Architect Zone" with training, webinars, and design tools. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of lighting fixtures under a contact-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing model, supported by a QUICK SHIPMENT (QS) program offering 48-hour / 5-business-day delivery on popular SKUs and a 5-year warranty on most products. AQForm is part of the DeltaLight capital group, registered in Poland with a share capital of 2,455,000 PLN, and is privately held with no public funding rounds or M&A activity disclosed.
