Schréder was founded in 1907 in Liège, Belgium as a family-owned company. At the turn of the 20th century, electricity was the new promising technology. During the company’s first few decades, it explored the possibilities of this technology, innovating and manufacturing a variety of electrical equipment until it started to design and manufacture outdoor lighting products. From the very beginning, driven by a sense of purpose and adventure, Schréder expanded internationally through joint ventures across Europe and beyond. Over time, Schréder established a direct sales model worldwide, building with local experts and partners, and in close collaboration with cities. This proximity inspires innovation and enables Schréder to adapt its product portfolio to meet local needs better than others. To adapt to an increasingly globalised world, the Schréder Group reorganised its supply chain and industrial footprint to maintain production close to its customers. The Group’s
manufacturing plants supply the regional or continental markets where they are located to better serve its customers and contribute positively to the local social fabric and environmental preservation. In addition to our extensive portfolio of luminaires, we develop cutting-edge connected lighting systems. These new systems enable the optimal use of light to further reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint, and also provide a platform to add innovative new features such as traffic and pollution sensors to improve the quality of life for citizens. More than ever, Schréder’s DNA of innovation provides significant added value to cities for managing smarter, more efficient and more sustainable public spaces. At Schréder, this is called Lightability™. Schréder is without a doubt a key partner for the city and the mobility of tomorrow.
