Tungsram Group

Tungsram Group, an iconic name has returned to the global market as an innovative, premium European brand with the acquisition of GE Lighting's Europe, Middle East, Africa and Turkey general lighting business along with the global automotive operation. “Innovation is our heritage” – is the core belief of the new management, reinvigorating a 120+ year old tradition of playing a leading role in manufacturing technology and service solutions. Besides engineering excellence and the spirit of innovation, the greatest asset of Tungsram are its employees. Many of our employees have decades of experience and history with the company and they have a sense of ownership when it comes to moving the company forward and focusing on the customers’ needs. Simultaneously, our colleagues having recently joined, bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas highly appreciated and encouraged by Tungsram.

Powered by a lighting-industry track record spanning more than 120 years, Tungsram has consciously developed new solutions in its core area of lighting technology since its foundation in 1896. We compete on the world market as a premium European brand, which designs, develops and manufactures products for the needs of today and tomorrow. The lighting product portfolio covers all areas of indoor and outdoor lighting, from private homes to schools, public and office buildings, gas stations, sports arenas, highways and car parks. We offer a comprehensive range of light sources from traditional technologies such as HID, LFL, CFL, Halogen and specialty lamps both for indoor and outdoor installation. From traditional technologies to state-of-the-art LED products, we incorporate energy optimization and system intelligence into our portfolio.

Tungsram Group offers premium quality lighting solutions for indoor and outdoor applications, traditional lamps, automotive, as well as drivers & transformers. Tungsram is present in 22 countries with 23 subsidiaries and exporting 98% of its production, the company leverages sales into more than 100 global markets. Its highly-productive supply chain is centered around its 5 factories in Hungary working to the highest quality standards with its 4000+ employees and a network of 1600 suppliers and partners around the globe. Tungsram Group invests into future-safe technologies and dynamically growing global markets, such as smart solutions, smart cities, indoor farming and healthcare, while still strengthening the lighting core of its business.

As part of Tungsram’s new mindset, we reach far beyond delivering a product in a box. The Tungsram Lighting Solutions concept renders the company capable of becoming a professional partner in developments and investments made by both public and private entities in Hungary and all around the world. Tungsram can execute lighting projects starting from initial site inspection to production, acquisition, financing and execution. Our colleagues working in the project office coordinate construction work and material movements with the help of a state-ofthe-art project management software, which warrants transparency and access to all relevant information. The company’s wide-ranging product portfolio allows us to manage several lighting-related investment areas, such as indoor and outdoor lighting, SMART sensors or indoor LED technology used for crop production, in a single package. Tungsram’s project management capabilities coupled with a full-scale supply chain guarantee unparalleled efficiency.

Tungsram’s automotive division has been meeting the highestquality standards for passenger cars and utility vehicles for more than half a century. Listed among the top three car lamp manufacturers globally, we are an established supplier of OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and a decisive player in aftermarket sales in major markets worldwide. We have long committed ourselves to improving visibility and road safety while also enhancing convenience and style. Our custom-tailored solutions are testament to Tungsram’s commitment to product leadership and technology innovation. Reliability and quality top our agenda and Tungsram’s wide range of premium lamps, operating on 12V or 24V, offer superior performance, ensuring maximized visibility, boosting safety and reducing the risk of road accidents. All this has been internationally tested: our quality system is IATF 16949 approved. Tungsram is on the approval list of many of the world’s leading car manufacturers.

As the world looks to tackle the double challenge of rising population numbers and finite arable land, the need for agricultural innovation has never been higher. Tungsram’s Agritech Division rises to the challenge with a portfolio of lighting and smart solutions, focusing closely on indoor plant growing and vertical farming. With our highly optimized light sources, the yield of indoor gardens – both regular and vertical orientations – can be optimized in an age when humanity needs more food products grown closer to urban areas, produced in a more efficient way and year-round.

The mission of Tungsram Agritech is to apply its expertise - acquired over decades - in the field of LED lighting to serve sustainable plant cultivation. Traditional lighting emits one broad spectrum and the unused light is wasted energy. In comparison, LED lighting possesses high luminous efficacy, predefined spectral light output, controllable light intensity, effective heat management, uniform illumination and durability. Tungsram Agritech toplight and interlight products are designed for installations in new or already established greenhouses and vertical farms. Our lighting solutions offer tailored spectrum distribution and intensity to ensure the most intensive growth and accumulation of nutrients in each growth phase. As Industry 4.0 ushers in the era of hyperspectral analysis of plant processes, environment sensors monitoring the conditions of the ecosystem and optimal setups based on big data, Tungsram Agritech offers the ability to give the plant what the plant needs.

Due to their dense placement, outdoor lamps can be utilized as the centers of IoT infrastructure and act as gateways; equipped with sensors they can transmit data to broadband and are ideally placed to monitor streets and help with e-mobility strategies. At Tungsram, we take a holistic view of the cities of tomorrow, allowing our partners to choose from a wide portfolio of solutions, including indoor and outdoor positioning and navigation, smart parking system, facility and asset management, smart public transportation information service, building automatics, ambient sensor network, IoT dashboards and 3D BIM modeling.

Building on our lighting industry expertise of more than 120 years, the Smart Solutions division is a testament to Tungsram’s commitment to the future. Smart Solutions aim to tackle the challenges of urban environments in the digital age. Tungsram as a technology solution integrator builds on its core lighting competencies to offer sustainable and cost-effective strategies to turn the questions of the present into the answers of tomorrow. Anchored in the belief that a smartly built and connected environment will fundamentally alter the way people live, work and communicate, while ultimately improving their wellbeing, productivity and health, the Smart Solutions unit is engaged in working out solutions aimed at cost saving, energy efficiency and better living standards for inhabitants of urbanized areas.
