Fionia Lighting A/S has a new co-owner, Senmatic A/S, and has thus moved on from being a research project at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) to become a regular company rooted in local industry.
The first customers are on board, and now Energi Fyn and Denmark's largest nursery garden PKM, among others, have been joined by Senmatic A/S as co-owners of Fionia Lighting A/S.Fionia Lighting - which develops energy efficient LED lighting for horticulture - has thus far succeeded in its strategy. The company has concentrated its efforts in the field between research and product development in close cooperation with SDU, and the likes of German-based Osram, who have delivered new components at prototype level to the firm on Funen.
- Senmatic’s product range includes climate computers and sensors for the horticulture industry. We believe that with our involvement in Fionia, we can reap the benefit of several synergies. And it will put us in the technological forefront internationally for horticultural lighting and climate control, says Torben Hansen, CEO Senmatic A/S.
In connection with Senmatic’s involvement in Fionia, Jens Kr. Damsgaard is stopping as CEO, as planned. In his capacity as CEO of Energi Invest Fyn A/S, he will continue to develop new research-based companies according to the "Fionia model". Torben Hansen takes over as the new director of Fionia Lighting A/S.
