Denmark - Aarhus-based LED lighting manufacturer DVT Light has appointed Theis Wermuth as its new commercial director. Well-known as an international lighting and show designer via his design studio Create This, Wermuth also has a background working with leading professional lighting manufacturers.
DVT Light was founded in 2021 by Mikkel Bandholm and Peter Johansen who has been inventing products for entertainment since the 1970s.
As commercial director, Theis will be focussing on sales, marketing, and building a distribution network to assist in helping to establish the brand globally. Theis will also energise an extensive network of contacts of lighting professionals.
He states, “I am thrilled to join DVT Light. It is a fantastic opportunity to work with such an innovative and dynamic team. I look forward to contributing to the company's growth and development and to strengthening our market position with many new and exciting products and initiatives.”
Theis explained that DVT Light is “actively working on expanding its product ranges for shows, events and architectural applications,” and he will be expanding the brand’s market presence both domestically and internationally.
Chairman of DVT Light’s board, Brian Pedersen commented, “Having Theis as our new commercial director is a real investment, and he will be an invaluable resource to the brand with his strategic approach and deep understanding of the creative lighting industry. We are confident that Theis will further elevate our already successful operation.”
Several new products are currently in R&D and will be released soon, explained Theis.
These will be for multiple – and some crossover – applications including fixed installations, live shows and events, lighting for sets and scenery, audiences as well as for buildings, objects and spaces where large, even and rich amounts of different coloured lighting are needed to highlight a façade or architecture.
Theis and the DVT Light team will be showcasing current and new products at PLASA 2024 in London in September, where they will be looking forward to meeting new potential customers and specifiers.
