RESPONSIVE Distributing light around the world. HISTORY Why our customers can depend on us. Ireland Fibreled Spain Monolitic, S.A. Holland Simcas Poland Alfa - Zeta Co Ltd. Germany Illumics GmbH Belgium Uni-Bright Scandanavia Candelux AB Perhaps the most significant breakthrough in Collingwood s history was in 2001 when our present day chairman, Justin Maeers, recognised the potential of LEDs in the creation of light. So convinced was he that LEDs were the future of the lighting industry, that he deviated completely from others in the industry (who were satisfied with fitting LED into existing lighting products) and created the first dedicated LED lighting product. This revolutionised the lighting industry and shaped the way we see the lighting world today. Acting as our Chief Technical Engineer Justin continues to lead our team of exceptional designers to push the boundaries and think the unthinkable when creating products to master light.
