Mantagua

What Mantagua does

Mantagua is a French LED marine lighting manufacturer headquartered in Châteaulin, Finistère, operating as a subsidiary of the Breizelec group. Founded in 2005, the company designs and produces a comprehensive catalog of LED lighting products for two principal segments: leisure boats (sailing, racing, yachts) and workboats / professional vessels (fishing, service, cargo, military). The product range spans interior cabin lighting (recessed and surface-mounted ceiling lights, reading lights, chart table lamps, courtesy lights), LED strips and interior bulbs, exterior spotlights and floodlights up to 150W/24,000 lumens, and certified navigation lights (NAVIMAX, NAVIPRO, NAVISLIM) compliant with COLREG regulations for vessels up to 50 meters. Supporting accessories include dimmers with soft-start, switches and sockets, DC/DC regulators, remote controllers, NMEA buffers, and the NORMA navigation lights controller.

Technically, Mantagua differentiates on marine-specific engineering rather than novel semiconductor work: IP67/IP68 waterproof ratings, salt-water durability, multi-voltage support (12 VDC, 24 VDC, 230 VAC), and certification-grade optics for navigation compliance. All products carry ISO 9001 quality certification. The most recent technical addition is the TRESCO gyro-stabilized LED searchlight, which introduces stabilized-beam optics for workboat applications.

Mantagua generates revenue through direct e-commerce sales via mantagua.fr and through an authorized distributor network ('Where to Buy'), serving individual boat owners, professional maritime operators, marine expeditions (TARA, Under the Pole), and the French maritime rescue society (SNSM). Pricing is unit-based, ranging from approximately €27 for entry switches to over €1,750 for high-power floodlights, with specialty stainless-steel fittings reaching higher price points. Marketing is anchored in catalog distribution, social sharing, and expedition sponsorship. The company employs 6 people and operates primarily in Europe; no public revenue, capital structure, or ownership details beyond the Breizelec parent relationship are disclosed.
