Light+Building 2010, the world's leading trade fair for Architecture and Technology, is the launch event for 'Zenaro- the Lighting Alliance', a new global company alliance between founding members Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd. with headquarters in Taipei/Taiwan, Lighting Competence Center GmbH (LCC), the R&D centre of Everlight Electronics Europe in Karlsruhe/Germany and LED lighting expert Aphos Lighting based out of Texas/USA. The goal of the alliance is to bundle the members' core competences - long-term LED technology know-how as well as a profound knowledge and experience in the lighting area - to be optimally positioned for the challenges to come of the global lighting market, and to take on a worldwide leading role.

The Zenaro Lighting Alliance is meant to grow over the next years by adding new members to further extend its technological lead in the development of intelligent LED lighting solutions and corresponding infrastructure. In addition, further alliance partners will be integrated to gain access to not yet exploited markets.

As a combined result, the Zenaro Lighting Alliance will provide street, interior, office and consumer lighting solutions that combine the advantages of LED technology with state-of-the-art and innovative design concepts. The products, all of them developed in their respective regions, will be designed to consider their regional peculiarities. But if needed, all products will also be available for use in other regions.

"The Zenaro Lighting Alliance is a synergistic organization that provides customers with state of the art product innovations in a development time frame that is impossible for the traditional, slower moving companies to achieve", says Bernd Kammerer, General Manager at Everlight Electronics. "Combining global resources, product adaptations to multiple market segments with localized customer sales and support, Zenaro delivers product lines that meet and exceed exacting standards for performance and aesthetics for projects of any scale. On top of that, we will be able to offer our technologically and architectonically sophisticated solutions in best quality at very competitive costs."
