A mission that shines bright

At its core, Lumvin is about making light smarter, greener, and more accessible. The company develops intelligent, networked lighting systems focused on retrofitting existing luminaires, enabling up to 80 – 90% energy savings for its clients. This model not only reduces costs and CO₂ emissions but also aligns seamlessly with Switzerland’s energy transition goals and the post-2023 fluorescent lamp ban.

What sets Lumvin apart is its deep commitment to Swiss quality and sustainability. Nearly all components are sourced locally, and production is done in Switzerland in collaboration with libs – a non-profit organisation that trains apprentices. This unique partnership enables Lumvin to access high-end facilities and a skilled workforce without heavy capital investment, all while strengthening the Swiss dual education system.

Scaling through purpose and precision

Since inception, Lumvin has completed 100+ projects for 60+ clients, including public institutions like Stadt Lenzburg and top-tier companies such as AXA. By 2024, revenues nearly doubled, and the pipeline for 2025 exceeds CHF 2.4 million in confirmed contracts, with additional offers totalling CHF 5.4 million.

Their approach has led to repeat business, particularly from large asset holders and cities prioritizing sustainable retrofits. Notably, Lumvin tailors solutions for heritage buildings (e.g., “Heimatschutz-Objekte”), a niche requiring precision and compliance with strict architectural standards.

From retrofitting to the smart grid

Lumvin’s innovation doesn’t stop at LED replacements. The team is actively developing smart lighting systems with IoT capabilities – enabling predictive maintenance, remote monitoring, and energy optimization. To accelerate this R&D, Lumvin collaborates with partners and leverages relationships with component experts like Tridonic and Wago.

Their future product roadmap includes expanding into road, tunnel, and railway lighting – segments with enormous retrofit potential across Switzerland’s infrastructure.
