Global lighting manufacturer scaling ecommerce and automation across Europe
Sylvania Group manufactures LED and architectural lighting solutions across 50+ countries with 1,200 employees and two heritage brands (Sylvania and Concord). The tech stack reflects a traditional manufacturing operation—CAD tools (SolidWorks, Revit, AutoCAD), industrial automation (SIMATIC S7, PLC programming), and BI/analytics (Power BI, Birst)—with active hiring skewed toward sales (16 roles) and operations, signaling a pivot toward ecommerce expansion and customer project delivery rather than pure manufacturing optimization.
Sylvania Group is a publicly traded lighting manufacturer with over 120 years of operational history. The company produces energy-efficient LED luminaires, lamps, and architectural lighting for three primary segments: office/education, industrial/logistics, and hospitality (via the Sylvania brand), plus premium architectural lighting for galleries and retail (Concord brand). Manufacturing is centered on European production sites, enabling both standard and customized solutions. The company earned EcoVadis Silver certification in 2024 for environmental and social performance. Current focus areas include ecommerce platform development (particularly in DACH and Eastern European markets), large customer project delivery, PLC-based automation system commissioning, and process efficiency improvements across manufacturing and fulfillment operations.
Core tools include Microsoft Office, Power BI for analytics, AWS for infrastructure, SolidWorks and Revit for design, SIMATIC S7 and PLC programming for industrial automation, AutoCAD for technical drawings, and Adobe Creative Suite for marketing assets. CRM and SQL support sales and data operations.
