Seoul Semiconductor joins LightingEurope industry association
South Korean LED maker Seoul Semiconductor Co Ltd has become a member of LightingEurope, the European lighting industry association whose members represent more than 1000 European companies (most of which are SMEs), a total workforce of more than 100,000 people in Europe, and an annual turnover estimated to exceed €20bn.
The main mission of LightingEurope is to promote efficient lighting practices for the benefit of the global environment, human comfort, and the health and safety of consumers. Seoul Semiconductor says that, as a member, it will be better informed about European Union (EU) lighting policies that impact its corporate strategies for LED technology development and application, and thus be able to respond more quickly to lighting markets in Europe.
LightingEurope membership also provides Seoul Semiconductor with advance notice on upcoming policies and laws impacting its business, access to guidelines for help in interpreting and complying with EU rules, and participation in forums for industry to exchange views and reach consensus.
“The wide range of applications [in] which Seoul Semiconductor’s products are used illustrate how lighting technologies add value to society,” comments LightingEurope’s secretary general Ourania Georgoutsakou. “With their strong technical expertise and their presence in Europe, Seoul Semiconductor will make a valuable contribution to LightingEurope’s work to shape a positive EU policy framework for the lighting industry in Europe.”
