In 2000, Helvar was the first in the world to introduce the narrow bandwidth range that was quickly adopted to become the industry standard.

 

During this period lighting electronics made a huge leap forward. A significant change was the transition from the production of not only individual components, but to the production of complete systems to fulfill the needs of various lighting applications. During 2004, the company consolidated its activities in Finland, and at the same time strengthened its position in the market.

 

The first decade of the new millennium started in the worst way, but ended with a huge success. During the decade, Helvar introduced energy efficient ballasts, forward control products and invested heavily in research and development.

 

Today, Helvar is one of the most significant companies in Europe in its field, able to combine expertise and lighting control in a unique way, due to its ambition to produce sustainable innovative products and solutions.

 

Its headquarters are located in Finland, as is the development of lighting components and the company's manufacturing operations. The Competence Center for Lighting Systems is located in London.

 

Internationalization and exports have been the cornerstones of Helvar since the beginning, and 97% of today's sales are outside of Finland.

 

Despite impressive growth and technological development, the company still has its original "Halbor spirit" - strong local pride, customer proximity, hard-working attitude and first-rate industry knowledge.
