About Exaktor

Exaktor was founded in 1945 in Stockholm and moved to Oxelösund in 1947. Ten years later, the company established itself in Värnamo, where it manufactured steel stoves. Over time, the focus shifted to lighting and luminaires. Today, Exaktor is a well-known brand that offers innovative lighting solutions for a variety of applications, often in combination with advanced lighting control.

In 1999, Exaktor was acquired by the Proton Group. The Exaktor company became Proton Lighting with the Exaktor brand. This meant a much broader base, with even greater opportunities. Since then, we have developed vigorously. A consistent focus on deep knowledge about lighting has contributed to our success. New products and new, exciting technology have enabled us to grow both in and outside Sweden. In Finland, we have our own subsidiary, Proton Lighting Suomi Oy.

In Sweden, in addition to our head office in Värnamo, we have sales offices in Stockholm, Jönköping and Malmö, but we operate throughout Sweden. Both product development and assembly of our products take place in Värnamo, which allows us to have full control over the entire process and ensure the highest quality. This is also where the majority of our manufacturing takes place. We also have a light laboratory where we carry out light measurements to ensure that our products meet the highest standards.

We are one of four business areas in the Proton Group, a group of companies founded in 1990. Over the years, we have increasingly become a supplier of services and solutions. Sharp solutions that we have built and are building together with our customers.
