optimise product costs. Products for both the Lighting Segment and the Components Segment are produced in individual areas at Dornbirn, Niš and Spennymoor in separate areas and under separate organisation and management. Lemgo serves as the compe- tence centre for the production of spot and downlights, while Shenzhen manufactures components for standard applications. The Zumtobel Group operated eight plants worldwide as of 30 April 2026.

The sales organisation reflects the two segments and their different sales channels. In the Components Segment, this involves OEM sales (Original Equipment Manu- facturer) to luminaire producers, sales via distributors and online sales as well as the sale of innovative and intelligent solutions to electrical and system planners. Sales in the Lighting Segment are project-based and cover construction projects and the related target groups (e.g. architects, lighting and electrical planners, contractors and deve- lopers), sales through retail channels, and direct sales to large customers and public contracting entities. Lighting solutions are also sold over special online sales channels. The Zumtobel Group is committed to sus- tainable business operations and, through its solutions, to helping its customers more easily reach their sustainability goals. Zumtobel Group AG serves as the parent company of the Group and provides nume- rous corporate management and service functions for the brands. These central functions include finance, human resources, legal, audit & compliance, insurance, sustainability, IT and process management, information security and data protection, strategy and transformation projects, corporate procurement as well as corporate communications and investor relations

Market position and brand positioning

The Zumtobel Group is active worldwide, but Europe remains the most important mar- ket with around 85% of total revenues. The professional lighting industry in Europe is highly fragmented but the Zumtobel Group holds a strong position with its international- ly established Zumtobel and Thorn lighting brands: The market share in Europe equals roughly 7%. The worldwide components industry, in contrast, is characterised by greater consolidation. With its Tridonic com- ponents brand, the Zumtobel Group also holds a leading position in lighting manage- ment and control gears. Tridonic, the Group‘s technology brand, supports customers with intelligent hard- ware and software solutions. With roughly 1,800 patents, it is a global innovation driver for light-based network technology and the development of scalable solutions that support the development, among others, of new business models for lighting producers, building managers and system integrators. Tridonic is not only active in the production of components and system solutions for the Group’s lighting brands, but it also serves as an OEM supplier for luminaire producers and projects throughout the world and ge- nerates around 80% of its revenues outside the Zumtobel Group. The brand’s innovative strength is also demonstrated by a recent award from the Digital Illumination Interface Alliance.
