Huub De la Haije, president and founder of Highlite International BV, says: "As a licensee under the license program we get access to a large portfolio of Philips' patented LED control technology. This allows us to offer our customers LED luminaires with state-of-the-art technology at an attractive price. Both our lighting brands Showtec for special light equipment for events, live acts and stage installations and Artecta for architectural lighting products will benefit from the agreement with Philips."
Frank Bistervels, senior director of licensing, Philips Intellectual Property & Standards, says: "Philips is very pleased that Highlite joins our program. We believe in open innovation and sharing our ideas through licensing. By making our technologies available, Highlite can seize their opportunities and we contribute to a further growth of the LED market."
