Inovara Group

What Inovara Group does

Inovara Group (legal entity Luna Topco Limited) is a UK-headquartered holding company that consolidates four lighting brands — Collingwood Lighting, Nobile Italia, Indigo Lighting, and IBL Lighting — into a single platform for LED and architectural lighting products. The group targets commercial, residential, industrial, and landscaping sectors globally, offering bespoke and specification-grade lighting solutions to property developers, construction firms, architects, and landscape design professionals. Its operational footprint spans the UK (Sywell, Northampton headquarters; Guildford office via IBL) and Italy (Nobile Italia), with each brand retaining its own website and customer-facing identity while sharing centralized support.

The company's core offering is LED lighting hardware with an emphasis on energy efficiency and design customization across commercial, residential, industrial, and exterior/landscape applications. The technology proposition is built on proven LED architectures from established brands rather than proprietary software platforms; no AI, API, or software product surface is disclosed. Each brand contributes distinct market positioning — Collingwood and Indigo serve broad commercial/residential and landscape segments, Nobile Italia provides premium Italian-designed lighting, and IBL brings architectural specification expertise — collectively broadening the group's specification coverage.

Inovara operates a quote-based B2B hardware sales model through enterprise field sales and consultative engagement via contact forms and brand websites. Revenue is generated through direct product sales to commercial and residential construction buyers with no disclosed pricing transparency or subscription/recurring component. The business is privately held and backed by Ambienta SGR, a sustainability-focused European private equity firm that provides capital for the platform's acquisition and growth strategy, positioning Inovara as an active consolidator in the European LED lighting market.

• Acuity Brands: US-listed North American market leader in LED lighting and controls for commercial, industrial, and residential applications. Broad incumbent comparable to Inovara's commercial and industrial LED offering, though primarily US-focused.
• Hubbell Lighting: US manufacturer of commercial, industrial, and outdoor LED lighting (brands including Kim Lighting, Beacon, Columbia). Comparable to Inovara's outdoor/architectural and industrial segments, though operating primarily in North America.
