BEKA Schréder Unveils New Sustainable Facility
BEKA Schréder, Africa’s leading manufacturer of outdoor LED lighting solutions, is proud to announce the official opening of its new Head Office and Factory at Twenty One Industrial Estate in Olifantsfontein on 5 September 2025. This modern space reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, innovation, and collaboration as it continues to lead the industry in providing smart and energy-efficient lighting solutions, positioning BEKA Schréder for continued growth across Africa.
A Modern Facility for Growth
The new premises bring all business units closer together, enhancing teamwork, engagement, and operational excellence. With optimised material flow and a redesigned pole factory assembly process, the company is set to reduce lead times while further improving product quality.
“Our new facility is not just a building; it’s a cornerstone for the future,” said Daniel Kasper, Regional Director South & Sub-Saharan Africa of BEKA Schréder. “By creating a modern, sustainable, and customer-focused environment, we are strengthening collaboration, driving innovation, and preparing for the next phase of growth in Africa.”
Sustainability at the Core
Sustainability is a defining feature of the new facility. Overall energy consumption has been reduced by 50% compared to the previous premises, thanks to the integration of smart lighting systems, motion sensors, and a high-efficiency HVAC system. Supporting these savings is a solar energy system that provides clean, renewable power for daily operations, further reducing the carbon footprint.
“This investment demonstrates our dedication to environmental responsibility,” added Kasper. “It shows how sustainability can be embedded into every part of our operations, from the way we design products to the way we run our facilities.”
Enhanced Customer Engagement
The facility includes a newly designed showroom and customer engagement area, providing an interactive space to showcase solutions. A larger conference and training facility enables BEKA Schréder to host more frequent workshops, training sessions, and industry events, strengthening relationships with customers and partners.
Looking Ahead
The investment in modern infrastructure, covering IT systems, office layouts, testing and measurement capabilities, and renewable energy, ensures that BEKA Schréder remains competitive while maintaining its strong local manufacturing footprint. The facility is designed to support long-term growth, prioritise local content, and safeguard job creation.
A Word of Thanks
BEKA Schréder extends its sincere gratitude to its longstanding partners and shareholders for their trust and continued support, which have been instrumental in reaching this milestone.
