LED technologies provider Luminus Devices Inc. has opened an office in Taiwan in response to the growing demand in the Asian market. The new office, located in Taoyuan County, will offer sales support, customer service, field application engineering and operational engineering to the company’s key customers, suppliers and contract manufacturing partners in Asia. It will be managed by Robin Hung, sales director for the Asia region. He will oversee the growing staff that will be responsible for managing Luminus’ current relationships and future business opportunities in display, entertainment and specialty lighting vertical markets. “We have seen our business in Asia grow dramatically over the past few years in each of our vertical market segments,” said Keith T.S. Ward, president and CEO. “The Taiwan office is central to Asia, which is the hot spot for LED technology and manufacturing, and it will only enhance our ability to provide world-class innovative solutions for our customers.” Also announced this week, Volpi AG of Schlieren, Switzerland, was named a certified solution partner of Luminus Devices. Volpi specializes in fiber optic and optoelectronic lighting systems. The two companies expect synergy effects from the cooperation. With its new partner, Luminus wants to support customers better and with shorter development times in the case of complex lighting solutions. With access to new LED technologies, Volpi can further expand its technological lead in high-end applications in the areas of medical technology, life science and industrial image processing.
