The realization of this exhibition is a big step for the region, since it shows that we are able to offer products of the highest quality, manufactured and distributed locally. We are excited to have the opportunity to present our plant in Costa Rica and all the services and solutions we offer, in addition to the LED technology, in which we are one of the leaders from the industry until reaching the end consumers. And, on the other hand, it seems exciting to us that this event will allow all competitors and market players to have a face to face dialogue about the present and the future of lighting."

“It is more than overdue to have an important Lighting Fair for the Central, Caribbean & Andean Regions in America. This event will establish an important network of contacts, suppliers, and clients interested in the Lighting Sector. Highlighting the concept of “high-efficiency lighting”, InterLumi sounds perfect to us since part of our job as lighting professionals is to help the lighting sector to be viewed as “high efficiency – high tech“, commented by Mr. Juan F. Luna, CEO and founder of ILUMAX S.A.

Also, we expect to be able to find new partners/distributors for these new technologies in neighboring countries. InterLumi’s concept of "high efficient lighting” for us is a great initiative, and very necessary, because it is one of our company’s major concerns and goals. "

"

The trend of products’ development is driving manufacturers and distributors to be in a constant awareness of new markets, technologies and applications. Therefore, this makes of InterLumi a well-timed event for the region. As a formation entity in the areas of industry, decoration, construction and all sectors related to lighting technology and to energy efficiency, we believe that supporting this event will further strengthen our presence at a regional level to generate greater awareness and benefit our members for the participation in InterLumi either as exhibitors or visitors."
