About Us
Today, the company has a unique wealth of experience and expertise at its disposal when it comes to light and its physical and mental effects on people. A strong sense of responsibility toward the environment and sustainable use of resources are important parts of its corporate awareness as well. Both Waldmann’s thinking and action has been this way for decades. All lighting solutions are user-friendly, environmentally sound, safe, and comply with existing standards. All products are high-quality, functional, and durable.
The goal at Waldmann has been to continuously improve all corporate processes. The Japanese KAIZEN philosophy serves as an important example in this joint endeavor to deliver technical perfection, innovation, and above all reliability. The entire value-added chain of complex production steps is performed in-house from development, design and the production of individual components to the finished product. All steps are perfectly aligned with each other – everything flows. Having the entire production operation in-house makes Waldmann enormously flexible and independent. With the flexibility to respond promptly to changing customer requirements – individual requests are possible at every level. This independence produces maximum quality. This excellent in-house production depth, has allowed for offering a wide variety of apprenticeship professions. Many of Waldmann’s best employees have been there from the start and learned their trades from the ground up. They have deep roots with the company and, thanks to the flat hierarchy, consider themselves entrepreneurs within the company. It is precisely this mutual trust that Waldmann’s corporate success is based on – ‘the human factor’.
At Waldmann, we strive to provide you with state-of-the-art solutions for your lighting needs. Across each industry, our lighting products are not only functional, but aesthetically appealing as well. We hold our products to the most stringent standards of performance, ensuring real world answers to your various lighting needs.

Sustainability
Waldmann certified to DIN EN ISO 14001 since 2012
We attach great importance to sustainability. This commitment includes active certified environmental management. This is why we do our utmost to achieve high energy efficiency not only by using the latest LED technology in our luminaires, but also during production and limit the use of harmful substances wherever possible. Recycling also pays a key role both during production and for our products. We are thus one of the few luminaire manufacturers to offer cradle-to-cradle certification.
You also benefit economically from our sustainability efforts: our energy-efficient luminaires reduce your costs, they have a long useful life and are low-maintenance.

Sustainability in figures
- We improve our environmental performance every year by implementing various energy and environmentally relevant targets:
- We have reduced our paper consumption in recent years by around 25%.
- The GOGREEN programme compensates for CO² emissions produced when sending letters. The compensation is done via internationally recognised climate protection projects that we are participating in. Waldmann makes compensation for a total of 2.11 t of its CO² e emissions.
- Despite increasing turnover our electricity consumption has decreased by more than 10% since 2012.
- Alone the change to more energy-efficient vehicles has reduced the per km carbon footprint of the Waldmann fleet by more than 10%.
- Changeover to LED lighting across production.
- Around 25 improvement suggestions on the subject of sustainability are implemented every year via the Waldmann suggestion system.
- Thanks to the installation of two CHP stations and a photovoltaic plant, we generate around 30% of our own energy needs.
- Waldmann does not use any hazardous substances; all hazardous substances are subjected to regular substitution testing.
- Our resource-friendly approach is demonstrated by the fact that our waste recycling quota has now reached 92% and is still rising.
Sustainability promoted by developing sustainable products
- Sustainable design that benefits the user. Timeless and modern.
- Long product life and suitability for use.
- Environmentally friendly material selection and surface treatment.
- Our products save energy!
- More than 100 lumen/watt required for new developments.
- The usage phase of a luminaire is far more relevant in terms of energy consumption than its production, since retrofitting free-standing luminaires with our LED lighting solutions can reduce energy consumption, for example by up to 55%.
