Even though it is said that the light bulb was invented by Thomas Edison, scientists and inventors were already researching the use of electrical light in the early 19th century. Although the first patents for light bulbs were awarded in 1841 already, Edison permitted their practical use and mass production in 1880.
We at EGLO have found a place in the history of light that has enabled us to grow continually for about 50 years.

Moments that showcase our bright history.
Enter the number 1969 into a search engine. You will find that it was a very busy year:
America celebrated Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. The first heart transplant was performed in Germany, and the Concorde went on its virgin flight in France. Our corporate history begins in that year as well.
