Energy efficient lighting manufacturer Elumin8 today announced a strategic partnership with Chinese lighting company Tianjin Gongda Hiyu Solid State Lighting to develop advanced LED street lighting applications and distribute across Europe, Middle East and Asia. HiYu is part of the Climate Group
Elumin8 lighting products use LED, electroluminescence and solar technologies, predominantly for road sign and automotive products. For the past six months the company has been working closely with Chinese counterpart HiYu — an associate of the Climate Control Committee — to share technological advancements. HiYu one of the region’s leading LED development companies with a focus on street light applications.
This new partnership allows both companies to join forces in the evolution of energy efficient lighting products as well as the distribution in various territories across the world. Elumin8 CEO Barry Hatcher said: “We are extremely excited and proud to be teaming up with HiYu who we believe have incredible knowledge of the technology. Coupled with our own developments and our network in 23 countries we will be able to work on some fantastic products and take them to market in a very short space of time.
“What makes this alliance really interesting is the fact that we have a British-owned business working closely with a Chinese company to help with the problem of climate change. Generally people associate China with being the cause not the solution. But that is quite in accurate as we see with HiYu — if anything they are becoming the world leaders in developing these greener lighting technologies. What we want to do now is make sure everyone benefits from these technologies.”
