You are kindly invited on behalf of RENA Electronica to visit the LED Event 2018, on Wednesday November the 28^th at congress centre 1931 in ‘De Brabanthallen’ Den Bosch.

The LED Event is the place where technical managers, developers and lighting designers can take a peek at the latest innovations in LED technology. 

In Amsterdam, you'll find a high tech LED lighting system hanging above the Reguliersdwarsstraat and its alleys. The familiar view of the street has been preserved; the system was installed in the existing nostalgic fixtures. The color of the LED lighting adapts to the social situation and was developed by RENA Electronica, commissioned by our partner Primo Exposures.

We are aware of playing a key role in creating the future. We enable our clients and stakeholders in our ecosystem by offering them customized cutting edge lighting and electronics solutions. We take responsibility to envision what is ahead, and share it. At the heart of our innovation, we anticipate possible futures. Watch the kick-off video for what we call our innovation program Vision Ahead!

Waar RENA Electronica 35 jaar geleden nog alle onderdelen van producten met de hand samenstelde, werkt de Zundertse leverancier van elektronica en ledverlichting nu als een van de eerste in de wereld met de nieuwste machines en productietechnologieën van producent ASM Assembly Systems uit München.

By choosing for a partnership and focusing on co-creation, Rena does help her customers to distinguish themselves in their market. This requires expertise, flexibility and quality. As suppliers are an evenly important link in the production chain we choose to enter into partnerships with them as well. Delivering on time, thinking ahead in time and cooperation, that is what we expect from our suppliers. So that we can deliver a high quality product together.

We decided to work with ASM as strategic partner to convert our factory in quick steps into a smart SMT factory for our high mix, low volume applications. Watch more in this video!

RENA is the party to call when it comes to developing and producing lighting and electronics for any OEM company.

When searching for a reliable partner for the production of 3 new innovative luminaires, lighting specialist Hortilux – who develops, manufactures and installs supplemental lighting systems for the horticultural industry – came across RENA.

Technology leader ASM has built an open and global network of reference factories with its SMT Smart Network, whose members work with ASM's experts to develop better processes for the smart SMT factory.

At Rena we consider the quality and environmental policy (as well as the need for safety, health and wellbeing) as an integral part of our operational management.

Our drive is to be fast, flexible and accessible. A one stop shop where we welcome clients for high end solutions within the field of lighting and electronics. Learn about our corporate values in this video!

On June 24 and 25, we will welcome customers, suppliers, employees and their family and everyone in the Zundert area who would like to have a look at the RENA facilities.

We are really proud of what we have achieved and look forward to showcasing a Dutch enterprise that adds value in the lighting and electronics market with an engineering department and manufacturing all under one roof. 

Over the past year a team of specialists at Rena has worked hard to obtain the ISO-14001 certficate.

This week the formal audit will take place to see if the inventory of environmental aspects, our internal processes and our future environmental strategy meet all criteria.

New equipment has been moved into our Ambachten 1 facility in support increasing production activities. Staffing of the new production lines is in full swing with a team of 15 joining our company very soon.

The 2016 Light+Building Fair in Frankfurt, Germany, was an interesting fair for us. It became clear that now is the time for lighting controls.

Again a lot of interest in our Bits2Power system was shown. Fully potted solutions for outdoor applications, drivers and ATEX-required areas were quite popular as well. Our mechanisation investments and increased assembly facilities opened opportunities we previously had to let go by.

Designed by system integrator and installer Alewijnse Marine, the RENA Bits2Power lighting control system is traveling the world inside super yachts built by Oceanco. Three Dutch companies working proudly together and delivering top quality products.

Last month at the IPM in Essen a new LED product line was introduced by Hortilux. This complete LED product line is developed based on Hortilux’ expertise and many years of experience in the lighting technology sector. The HORTILED® product line comprises three LED fixtures, each designed for a specific horticultural application.

A successfull first entry at LightBuilding two years ago will have a succession with this years' event at the Frankfurter Messe. RENA has been assigned an exhibition space in hall 4.0. The show starts early this year on March 13th. and will be open until Friday 18th.

Please come over and enjoy our hospitality. We will show you our latest innovations in technology and manufacturing.

The company Rena is growing steadily with the result that we have passed the threshold for a Works Council (Ondernemingsraad - OR).

This new entity in the organisation will be launched on April 1st, 2016.

The site will be operational soon and is meanwhile being equipped and staffed.

Rena Electronica traditionally sponsors the annual famous flower parade ("bloemencorso" in Dutch) in its home town Zundert. Several customers have joined us and watched the beautiful floats pass by in this competition between local neighbourhoods and neighbouring villages.

This year's flower parade was fully dedicated to Vincent van Gogh, who was born in Zundert (in the house located left on the picture) and died exactly 125 years ago. The theme therefore: Flowers of Inspiration. For an impression of the parade have a look at www.corsozundert.nl.

Royal Gazelle has built a new Innovation & Production facility in their home base Dieren, The Netherlands. To celebrate this a fully new, intelligent e-Bike concept has been developed over the past months with their latest technological innovations.

The official opening of the research site and the official presentation of the e-Bike was done on September 3, 2015 by our royal highness King Willem-Alexander.

The "bicycle chain" concept was conceived and designed by Atelier Lek from Rotterdam and offered to municipalities along a new fast speed cycle track in the region of Arnhem, the Netherlands.

The luminaire was developed and manufactured by Lightronics in Waalwijk and Rena in Zundert has produced the coloured LED-units and the individual electronic controls.

Over the past months Ziut has installed all of it and the sights of it are remarkable, both in daylight as well as during nighttime.
