New sales structure for Space Cannon

5.11.2009

With immediate effect, the Space Cannon company will use Zumtobel’s sales channels to market its luminaires and control systems in Europe.

Space Cannon, the Italian expert for high-quality presentation of architecture and interactive media façades, perfectly complements Zumtobel’s competence as a provider of lighting solutions. With Space Cannon’s custom-designed lighting solutions and control systems, Zumtobel is able to add innovative outdoor luminaires mainly based on LED technology to its high-quality luminaire portfolio, thus becoming a full-line supplier of integral lighting solutions for professional indoor and outdoor lighting. Peter Roos was appointed Managing Director of Space Cannon, a company of the Zumtobel brand. He sees great potential above all in the implementation of customised project-specific solutions: “Space Cannon’s expertise in design and implementation of high-quality lighting solutions – mainly based on LED technology using DMX control – in the sphere of architectural and event lighting is the perfect complement of the Zumtobel portfolio. This restructuring allows us to even better meet our customers’ demand for solutions from a single supplier.”

In the course of the restructuring process, Space Cannon’s word/figurative mark will be aligned to Zumtobel’s corporate design as well. In Europe, Space Cannon products will be distributed exclusively by professional Zumtobel sales offices. In countries without Zumtobel distribution organisation, Space Cannon will continue to cooperate successfully with retailers and sales agents as before. Around 70% of Space Cannon’s lighting solutions are based on innovative LED technology, supplemented by Xenon technology for outdoor lighting effects visible from afar. For outdoor illumination of the Friedrichshafen-based Dornier Museum (opened on 15 October 2009), LED luminaires and control systems by Space Cannon have been used as well.
