PAN-EUROPEAN LAMPBANK C.V.
Location
The history of the present LOHUIS LAMPBANK begins in 1970 when Mr Anton Lohuis started his lamp company in a small room of his parent's house in Hendrik Ido Ambacht in The Netherlands. He had just graduated for his 5 years Trade - Evening - School which followed his prior education at the HBS-B which is more technical and mathematics driven.
Whilst he was following the last courses at school he worked, during the daytime, at a company that was selling lamp holders and switches and many of them had small lamps inside. Many customers phoned that company for supply of special small lamps and soon it appeared that the company supplied only a 100 models in a market where more than 100.000 different specifications were used.
The night of his graduation he painted the town red with his classmates resulting in the fact that he was late for work the following morning. His boss was angry about the late arrival and complained resulting in Anton Lohuis packing his belongings and leaving for home and starting his own company the very same day attempting to supply every small lamp one could ever be looking for. As he was only 18 years of age the court had to declare that he could be responsible for his own business as his mother was very afraid that she might get bankrupted with this so active son!
In those days most supplies of such special lamps came from Germany and soon it was obvious that Japan was more competitive. and by 1982 an exporting company was established in Tokyo in the Gotanda district called Nippon Lohuis Company Ltd from where supplies were arranged to the different companies in the group like Lohuis Lampen BV in Holland, Lohuis Lamps Ltd in Leeds, England, Lohuis Lampen BvbA in Belgium, Lamparas LOHUIS in Barcelona, Spain, Lohuis Lampen GmbH in Hamburg, Germany, Lampes Lohuis SARL in France, Lohuis Lampen AG in Switzerland and LOHUIS USA Inc in Santa Rosa, California.
We were also manufacturing lamps in our own factories MEDILIGHTS BV in Holland, NORDLICHT GLUHLAMPEN In Hamburg, Germany and later some time also in LAMAPARAS ECA in Barcelona, Spain and lately in HANKUK LOHUIS CO.LTD in Seoul, South Korea.
Hundreds of millions of small lamps were made for him by the STANLEY ELECTRIC COMPANY in Japan amongst others and successfully sold to some 10,000 customers out of which 3.000 in Holland alone and to many famous companies like LEGO Systems in Denmark, TELEMECANIQUE in France, RS Components in England, just to name a few.
When the new head office was opened in Belgium in 1987 known as LOHUIS INTERNATIONAL NV , Mr Lohuis had just opened his own factory in Korea, HANKUK LOHUIS CO LTD in Seoul, and his new sales company in the United States LOHUIS USA Inc in Santa Rosa, California.
