These intelligent systems are increasingly forming the core of the service offering where they support smarter, more efficient and more sustainable lighting solutions. The offering is directed to professional electri- cians, installers, planners and operators as well as light designers, urban developers and municipalities. Thorn solutions are found in and around buildings, educational and healthcare facilities and the retail trade as well as urban areas, streets and tunnels, architecture and sport venues. One import- ant goal is the protection of the nighttime sky with the help of so-called dark sky friendly solutions, and Thorn has extensive know-how and certifications in this area. Its position as a leading provider of lighting solutions is underscored by iconic projects like UNESCO world heritage sites, Olympic sport facilities and large-scale lighting net- works in metropolises throughout the world. This standing is also reflected in internatio- nal partnerships and awards, including FIFA accreditation and Red Dot Design Awards for exterior lighting.
At the international Dali Lighting Awards in 2026, Tridonic was recognised in two inno- vation categories: “Best Emergency Lighting Integration“ and “Sustainability & Energy Efficiency“. Designing innovative, high-quality lighting solutions for every situation is the mission and passion of the Zumtobel brand. The right lighting in the right context creates at- mosphere and can have a positive influence on the quality of life. The Zumtobel portfolio includes innovative and sustainable lighting solutions and high quality luminaires for interiors that are optimised for the specific area of application to meet people’s needs (Human Centric Lighting). Other product areas address applications in intelligent lighting management and emergency systems. The most important applications for these solutions are industry, education, office, retail, gastronomy, healthcare, and art and culture. Valuable impulses for the further development of the portfolio are created not only through the Zumtobel Group’s own internal research and develop- ment, but also by long-standing coopera- tion with leading international architects, lighting planners, designers and artists as well as external partners in the project business. Zumtobel combined technological excellence with a deep understanding for architecture and design to continuously im- prove the aesthetics of light and, in doing so, strike out in new directions. This conviction is illustrated, among others, by the PANOS III luminaire family and Zumtobel EDITIONS. The TALUNA and SKENA luminaires recei- ved the Red Dot Design Award in 2026 for their outstanding product design. Thorn is a leading quality supplier of pro- fessional solutions for indoor and outdoor lighting and stands for high performance, cost efficiency and particularly user-friendly lighting systems. Its broad production spec- trum is complemented by groundbreaking technologies that are focused on customers’ current and future requirements.
Key success factors for the Zumtobel Group
The Zumtobel Group’s leading competitive position is based primarily on three strong brands with widely diversified market access, extensive know-how in lighting ap- plications and a clear technological advan- tage in individual areas. In order to optimally address the various markets, the group has created so-called sales regions – D/A/CH, Europe-West/South, Europe-North/East, and Overseas/Americas/Asia/MEA. The sales function had nearly 1,700 employees in 2025/26, whereby 1,400 employees work for the Lighting Segment and 265 employees for the Components Segment. The design of a customer-specific lighting solution requires extensive knowledge of the product portfolio, the innovative technologi- cal developments and the specific lighting application.
