LEDVANCE alters stockkeeping strategy to address growing demands of the
lighting market in the UK

Warrington, UK, 11 February 2025: LEDVANCE, a global leader in lighting solutions, has
announced the opening of a new warehouse and distribution centre just outside of Birmingham,
UK. The centrally located warehouse will provide customers across the UK with swift access to
LEDVANCE’s extensive line of intelligent and efficient lighting solutions for commercial,
industrial and residential applications. The vast range of lighting products being stocked at the
new warehouse includes LED lamps and luminaires, LED strip lighting, smart lighting, and light
management systems.

Jean-Marc Vogel, CEO Europe West at LEDVANCE, commented, “With the UK being the
second largest market in Europe, our ambitions are to develop LEDVANCE lighting and
renewable business in the UK. A new warehouse will support our portfolio extension and
establish LEDVANCE as a lighting market leader, and at the same time increase our market
presences and be closer to our customers in the UK.”

LEDVANCE UK Managing Director, Nelo Neves, said, “Until now, our stock was housed and
distributed solely from our central warehouse and distribution facility in Molsheim, France, with a
lighting portfolio that caters to the whole of Europe. However, the increasing awareness of
sustainability and energy-saving technologies has driven the decision for us to establish a local
warehouse to help meet customer demand more efficiently and cost-effectively by importing our
UK-specific lighting solutions directly to the UK.”

Lee Hickling, Logistics and Warehouse Manager at LEDVANCE added, “We wanted a UK-
based warehouse to streamline our logistics and reduce lead times for deliveries to our
wholesale customers across the UK. Any improvement in service levels greatly increases
customer satisfaction. Another plus is that our UK warehouse reduces shipping costs and
lowers import tariffs, which lead to significant savings in transportation expenses. It also gives
us full control of our local stock. All these benefits ultimately accrue to our valued customers in
the UK.”
