EFI Automotive Group launches EFI Lighting

Electricfil Automotive: Electricfil S.A., parent company of the EFI Automotive Group, has joined forces with Lyon-based Brochier Technologies to create EFI Lighting, a 50:50 joint venture.

EFI Lighting, headquartered in Beynost, France, also the home of the EFI Automotive Group, benefits from the know-how of its two founding companies:

• Brochier Technologies, specialists in innovation, design and manufacturing of fiber optic lighting devices
• the EFI Automotive Group, with its worldwide experience in the automotive sector, in particular in the design, marketing, commercialization and large-scale production of high-quality technical products.

EFI Lighting designs and produces complete lighting assemblies compliant with automobile standards, integrating backlight surfaces and light guides as well as LED-based light source modules.

These innovative industry-ready solutions are designed to diffuse light uniformly over long lengths or large surfaces. This revolution in automobile lighting offers a new level of personalization that will transform car interior and/or exterior design.

This new activity is part of the diversification strategy initiated by EFI Automotive in 2014 with the creation of Axandus, an industrialization accelerator for startups.
