50 years of Glamox Germany: Creating Light for a Better Life
Glamox Germany is marking a significant milestone this year - its 50th anniversary. Since its establishment in Hamburg in 1974, the German sales company has provided sustainable lighting solutions that enhance human performance and well-being.
In 1974, Germany is under the spell of two great successes - winning the soccer World Cup and the Eurovision success of Abba. In the same year, the Glamox began its success story in Germany. Initially based in Hamburg and primarily a supplier of lighting solutions for ships and maritime facilities, Glamox GmbH moved to Frankfurt as the domestic construction boom began. One of its first major prestigious projects was equipping a 45-storey tower block with 12,000 luminaires, all of which was supplied directly from the parent factory in Molde, Norway. As early as 1975, Glamox Germany participated as an exhibitor at the Hanover Fair.
In a conversation with Marketing Manager Rolf Røsberg, former Managing Director Erhard Flemmig shares insights into the company’s early days.
Since then, the German sales location, now with its headquarters in Hildesheim and a branch in Bremen, has continued to develop and is now an important partner for customers from various sectors, including office buildings, educational institutions, healthcare and industry.
Glamox is optimistic about the future for the entire German-speaking region and looks forward to continuing to offer innovative lighting solutions that meet the needs and requirements of customers in the years to come.
