What Zaho does

Zaho Sp. z o.o. is a Polish designer and manufacturer of architectural LED lighting fixtures, operating as part of Liralighting Group alongside Lira Lighting. The company designs, prototypes, and produces its entire product range in its own factory in Elbląg, Poland, using LED components sourced from qualified global suppliers. Its portfolio centers on the Z60 modular aluminium profile system and the MESMO flexible hose system, with additional categories spanning projectors, 230V and 48V magnetic track systems, wall, surface-mounted, recessed, suspended, acoustic luminaires, and desk and floor lamps. Technical differentiators include Tunable White color-temperature control, DALI protocol integration, and Casambi wireless smart-control support in selected families, with performance metrics such as UGR ratings as low as <16 on office-grade luminaires and high-CRI options (>80 standard, >90 for color-critical environments). A 5-year warranty covers most products.

Zaho sells through an authorized dealer network across Poland and operates a dedicated export sales department for international markets. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via project-based quotations through the sales department rather than published lists. The go-to-market relies heavily on trade fair participation — Light + Building 2024 in Frankfurt, ARCHITECT@WORK events in Warsaw and Gdańsk, Hotel Investment Trends 2025, and KIAF 2023 in Kraków — supplemented by social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn), a newsletter, and an online Z60 system configurator at konfigurator.zaho.pl. The customer base is hybrid, addressing architects and interior designers as primary specifiers, private consumers via dealers, and commercial clients in hospitality, office, retail, and public infrastructure segments.

The company is organized as a Polish private limited company (spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością) with share capital of PLN 30,000 and a KRS registration in Olsztyn. There are no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or public-market ownership stakes; the company has benefited from European Union Regional Development Fund support. No patents, trademarks, formal awards, regulatory actions, mergers, acquisitions, or leadership changes were identified in the available data, and no revenue figure has been disclosed.
