Lighting Developpement

What Lighting Developpement does

Lighting Developpement is a privately held French industrial group (SAS) headquartered in Saint-Priest, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, specializing in functional lighting for professional and infrastructure markets. Created in 2021 through the merger of Lébénoïd (founded 1922) and Integratech (founded 2009), and expanded in 2024 with the integration of Sfel (founded 1976), the group operates three retained sub-brands that address distinct customer segments: Lébénoïd serves French installers and distributors with standard, immediately available functional lighting and electrical accessories; Sfel eco-designs and manufactures custom and series luminaires in France with full lifecycle support; Integratech delivers competitive, structured-range lighting solutions for industrial and urban clients across Europe. The company employs 24 people and operates six locations across France, Belgium, and Tunisia, including a manufacturing facility in Zaghouan (Tunisia) and a logistics hub in Montaigu-Zichem (Belgium).

The group's core capability is integrated industrial manufacturing covering sheet metal work (tôlerie), plastic injection molding, assembly, and industrialization, supported by in-house quality testing infrastructure including a gonio-photometer and control chambers. This vertical integration allows the group to produce products ranging from standard catalog offerings to bespoke engineered solutions sourced or adapted rapidly through its engineering bureau. The revenue model is hardware sales of functional lighting products across three brand-positioned channels — direct field sales for installers and major accounts, direct enterprise sales for custom projects, and channel/reseller distribution for European industrial and urban markets. Jean-Michel Cambette serves as President and Hélène Harris as Marketing Director. Share capital is registered at €1,754,814. No public funding, institutional investors, or revenue figures are disclosed.
