ewo manufactures architectural and urban outdoor lighting from South Tyrol, Italy, with in-house optics design and a proprietary smart-lighting control brand (connexx). The tech stack is traditional—AutoCAD, DIALux evo, SQL Server, on-premises infrastructure (VMware, Veeam)—but the company is now adopting Kubernetes, a sign of containerization work that likely supports connexx's software platform or a shift toward cloud-native control systems. Hiring is accelerating across sales, engineering, and operations, concentrated in Italy.
ewo designs and manufactures outdoor LED luminaires for public spaces, architecture, roads, airports, and sports venues. The product portfolio centers on modular systems where customers can customize optics, finishes, and form factors through ewoIndividual. The company owns connexx, a hardware and software brand for intelligent lighting control and management. Founded in 1996 and based in Cortaccia in Alto Adige, ewo operates branches in Germany, Austria, France, and the USA, employing approximately 130–200 people. Revenue generation comes from both luminaire sales (standard and bespoke) and smart-lighting control contracts.
ewo's core tools include AutoCAD and DIALux evo for lighting simulation and design, paired with Autodesk Inventor for product modeling. These support the in-house optics design and bespoke customization workflow.
ewo runs on-premises infrastructure (VMware, Veeam, SQL Server, Windows Server, Linux) with Azure AD and Microsoft 365 for identity and collaboration. The company is adopting Kubernetes, indicating a shift toward containerized deployments—likely for connexx's intelligent lighting platform.
