TICAR S.R.L.

What TICAR S.R.L. does

TICAR S.R.L. operates commercially as Metaluz Iluminación Profesional, an Argentine professional lighting equipment manufacturer headquartered at Esmeralda 4989, Florida Oeste, Vicente López, Buenos Aires (a secondary firmographics entry lists Rosario, Santa Fe, but the company's own website and contact page confirm the Buenos Aires location). The company designs, produces, and distributes a broad catalog of more than 60 LED and conventional lighting product lines spanning interior (embedded, ceiling, pendant, wall), exterior (bollards, columns, streetlights, spikes), and architectural applications for commercial, industrial, road, and outdoor segments.

Manufacturing is conducted in-house at the Vicente López facility using TruPunch technology from TRUMPF, which integrates punching, forming, flange bending, threaded-hole machining, and contour machining into a single machine. The firm imports high-specular aluminum for the optical components of its luminaires and imports the electrical components and electronic auxiliary equipment (ballasts), which provides direct control over input quality. It also develops custom lighting solutions for large-scale projects, with reference work in transportation (Ezeiza Airport), sports/fitness (Megatlón gym chain), and education (Instituto Oxford).

The business model is B2B project-based: sales are consultative and directed at architects, lighting designers, contractors, and project developers, with quotes issued on request rather than published pricing. Distribution is direct, including a basic online reordering portal for existing clients. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of lighting fixtures with no recurring or subscription component. The company is privately held (S.R.L. designation), has not disclosed funding rounds, and operates with a small headcount of 13 employees.
