Precision extrusion contributes to the light technology of ETAP

ETAP Lighting stands for human-friendly, sustainable lighting. They excel in creating light comfort for the working individual while minimizing energy consumption to the absolute minimum. ETAP develops complete lighting solutions and manufactures lighting fixtures themselves. By consistently innovating with an R&D budget of approximately 6 to 7% of revenue, they have secured a leading position in the European lighting market.

In recent years, LED lighting has undergone a technical and economic revolution, increasingly replacing conventional lighting sources. LED is environmentally friendly and much more energy-efficient, with a longer lifespan and higher efficiency. Conventional light sources, such as incandescent bulbs, compact fluorescent lamps, halogen, and fluorescent lighting, dissipate heat through radiation. In contrast, LED lighting must dissipate heat through conduction.

Aluminium possesses excellent thermal conductivity. Moreover, aluminium is well-suited for extrusion, providing enormous design freedom and the ability to integrate multiple functions into one intelligent profile shape. This is where the connection with Mifa was quickly established.
