Wasco Gmbh

What Wasco Gmbh does

Wasco GmbH is a German manufacturer of technical LED lighting systems for industrial and commercial halls, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Upgant-Schott, Lower Saxony. The company designs, develops, and produces its entire LED product portfolio in-house at its Lower Saxony facility, including LED hall trunking systems (REDOX, MADOX, ANDOX, GU 6.0), high-bay luminaires (STRADOX), and LED light bars (CANTENA), with DALI control integration for intelligent lighting management. Key certifications—ENEC, HACCP, IFS, IK08 splinter protection, and DIN 18032 ball-impact safety—qualify products for regulated verticals such as food processing and sports facilities, while luminaires deliver 160–190 lm/W efficiency and service lives of 50,000–100,000 hours.

The company sells project-based rather than transactionally, with no public pricing or e-commerce channel. Customers initiate contact via website forms or email, and Wasco delivers a turnkey 'Rund-um-sorglos-Paket' (all-inclusive package) covering consultation, individualized light planning, LDT/BIM file provision, delivery (1–4 weeks from German production), and on-site installation by its own assembly team. Reference customers span retail (Hagebau), automotive workshops (Reemtsma), industrial halls (Hoogaerts), agricultural facilities (Lorentzen), sports and equestrian venues, food processors, and plastics manufacturers.

Wasco's business model is anchored in 'Made in Germany' local production and European-sourced components, which the company positions as insulation against Asian freight volatility and a basis for stable pricing. Revenue derives primarily from hardware sales (trunking systems, high-bay luminaires) bundled with professional installation services, sold through direct enterprise sales and a project-partner referral network serving the German and broader European market.
