About us

In 1945 the company Exaktor was founded in Stockholm and in 1947 it moved to Oxösund. Ten years later Exaktor established in Värnamo. At that time, radiant heaters were manufactured and gradually, it switched to lighting and lighting fixtures. Over the years, Exaktor has developed into a strong brand with a focus on technical lighting fixtures for industry, interiors and solutions.

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 our own sales offices in Stockholm, Kungsbacka, Malmö, Örebro and Sundsvall. All our manufacturing still takes place in Värnamo, where we have also built a state-of-the-art laboratory for verification of our products. In the laboratory we quickly and professionally can perform light calculations for you as a customer.

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.
