we combine this with the deep-seated experience of a traditional industrial company that enables us to concentrate on what ERCO has always done best – perfecting architectural light with ultimate precision. The fact that design, production and assembly are all carried out under one roof simplifies our interdisciplinary dialogue and enables maximum quality. Supported by our international network of ERCO lighting consultants, the latest requirements from practice as specified by architects, lighting designers and electrical contractors consistently flow into our development processes.

Light you can touch We call it ERCOplay – an exclusive gangway on the first floor where you solve six fascinating lighting tasks – limited in time. Experience what is possible with light, in applications as diverse as the practice itself. That’s not all though: we also give you a sneak preview of coming innovations. And because every good game has its winners, the best participants receive a prize.

ERCO luminaires are particularly durable and therefore also sustainable, and we’ve also applied this standard to our stand architecture. We use materials and equipment that can be recycled or reused. This started with the floor covering: because a one-way solution was out of the question, we included the hall floor in our concept. The timber frame structure can be used multiple times. The stairs and the ERCOplay gangway also consist of reusable rental scaffolding. Printed fabrics get a second life in the form of bags. Roadcases, which are on the road for ERCO product shows all over the world, are used as presentation tables to then return to the road – a statement against throwaway mentality and for longevity.

The luminaires are carefully developed and manufactured with a view to the future in our Lüdenscheid light factory, and at the same time our lighting consultants support lighting designers around the globe in implementing their lighting concepts in the best possible way. We develop luminaires according to specifications that are individually tailored to the projects and requirements of our customers. With our ERCO individual service we offer extensive options for the individualisation of series products as well as support in the development of sophisticated special luminaires.

Every room needs its own lighting concept, to support the users, as well as to complement the architecture and the interior. ERCO’s extensive experience in creative architectural and object ­lighting for different architectural segments links up with state-of-the-art LED technology. We have summarised the individual advantages of ERCO LED lighting tools for modern office, retail, museum, airport and façade lighting on the following pages, which also address the main issues arising in the context of architectural lighting with LED against the backdrop of our eight main application areas.
