Easy Engineering: How was 2022 for your business, a short summary?
ION INDUSTRIES: For several reasons, ION INDUSTRIES can look back on last year with satisfaction. The LED Dimmer manufacturer has been around for ten years. This was accompanied by welcoming several new partners, participating in the Frankfurt fair, setting up campaigns to boost sales and winning another German Innovation Award. Furthermore, the LED Dimmers have been sold in Germany and the UK since last year.
E.E: What products/services did you launch this year?
ION INDUSTRIES: In 2022, ION INDUSTRIES launched the innovative and powerful LED Dimmer 600 Watt. This makes it possible to provide large spaces with dimmable lighting, think of office and shop premises. The LED Dimmer 600 Watt won a German Innovation Award for its dimming range of 0.3 to 600 watts, which can be comfortably dimmed from high to low. The LED Emergency Lighting range now also features Black Exit Lighting. Furthermore, the Dimming Stabiliser and Double Frame are also new to the range.
E.E: How did the market change, compared to previous years?
ION INDUSTRIES: The use of LED lighting has skyrocketed in recent years. ION INDUSTRIES makes good use of this by adding unique adjustment options that perfectly meet the needs of the target group. Think of the Auto Adjustment, where the dimming range is adjusted automatically. ION INDUSTRIES releases products suitable for every situation. This allows it to respond quickly to changes in the market and the needs of the target group.
E.E: What are the new challenges in your field of activity?
ION INDUSTRIES: ION INDUSTRIES sees internationalization as a real challenge. Marketing the LED Dimmers in other European countries is a priority. This will be done through Germany and the United Kingdom, before rolling out further in Europe.
E.E: How did you overcome these challenges in this more competitive environment?

E.E: How will product innovation help the customers?
ION INDUSTRIES: User-friendliness is very important for the LED Dimmer Switch. The emphasis is mainly on the compatibility and easy connection of the product. The Smart Home function ensures that the LED Dimmers can be used in your own network. It is also easy for the consumer to connect the dimmers. This allows lighting to be dimmed comfortably.
E.E: What are the industry trends in the markets you are currently active?
ION INDUSTRIES: An important trend that ION INDUSTRIES is capitalizing on is connecting the LED Dimmer to Smart Home systems. This can be done well by means of the WiFi LED Dimmer.

E.E: What do you think the trends will be next year?
ION INDUSTRIES: As utilities have become more expensive and climate change is becoming more visible, sustainability is an important issue.
