CHALLENGE

Back in 2004, Jan Møller and his partner, Peter Hanke, had an idea but lacked a good supplier. At the time, Lopolight’s development and production were located in two different places, which proved problematic.

“It was like being between a rock and a hard place. When something did not work, both development and production were good at throwing the problem at the opposite party. It did not work optimally and it was a demanding process,” says Møller.

SOLUTION

In the early 00s, electronics development and the production of innovative products were crucial for a start-up. CB Svendsen was therefore the perfect partner for Lopolight.

“The collaboration we have with CB Svendsen has given us the flexibility to come up with new ideas. It has been important to have a supplier who stays up to date on both the development and production side. Their passion for what they do contributes to getting the work done and ensures that we deliver products that comply with and live up to the latest standards,” Møller explains.

The past 15 years of collaboration between Lopolight and CB Svendsen are based on loyalty, support and the ability for continuous development. It has enabled the development and production of LED lanterns for naval vessels sailing around the world.

“CB Svendsen’s ability to enable strong communication between development and production, as well as their success with the production of critical components and their support has been valuable to our organisation from the very beginning,” says Møller.
