Company history
1986 – Foundation
The beginning is characterised by the typewriter: HADLER manufactures transformers for electric typewriters incorporated into very well-known brands such as Triumph Adler and AEG Olympia.
1988 – New business field of electronics development
A period of trial and error begins: production is expanded to include control systems for pumps, coffee machines, safes and locking systems.
1989 – Entry into the lighting industry
HADLER comes into the light: The first electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps (ECG) and for explosion-proof areas (Ex) are developed under the brand name: Luxtronic.
1994 – EVG ex-worldwide market leader
Ex-protected ECGs become a bestseller: HADLER now supplies Luxtronic worldwide for oil rigs, the chemical industry, bakeries and joineries.
1998 – On the road to success thanks to compact ECGs
Luxtronic's success story continues: the ever smaller and slimmer ECGs are selling well with manufacturers of indoor and outdoor luminaires.
2005 – First production of In-house luminaires
The Luxsystem luminaire brand is born: the compact ECGs pave the way for the company's own slimline T5 SL 20.1 luminaire range, followed by a slimline IP 67 moisture-proof luminaire.
2013 – Conversion of luminaire production to LED
With the introduction of LED lighting technologies, the digital age begins at HADLER: The smart lighting management solution DALI uP is presented to complement the new LED luminaire families.
2016 – In house light source production
The SLS LED lamps developed by HADLER are a market success story, making refurbishment projects a new mainstay. From now on, we will only produce LED solutions.
2019 – Opening of the new production centre
After just one year, the new production faciltiy is up and running: the new 2,000 m² building guarantees higher production volume capabilities and provides starting point for the expansion of our global sales network.
2021 – Expansion of the sales network
A new milestone has been set: HADLER significantly expands its national and international sales organisation, creating new networks for the future.
