Cariboni Group

From dusk to dawn, a city exists if it is lit. Urban lighting is the only element that makes community places perceptible and usable. Our goal is to provide good light that adds value to the urban environment and reveals new ways of living in cities.

Light is our trade; for over a century we have been involved in the electrotechnical sector and have extensive experience in designing and implementing professional outdoor lighting solutions. We dialogue daily with designers from all over the world in order to light every architecture, every space and every path in the best possible way. We are continually looking for innovative solutions to offer new opportunities for using urban spaces and to protect the well-being and security of those living in them.

We acknowledge that consideration is a fundamental value, not just for the area where we operate, but for the entire planet and all the life that occupies it. We collaborate with local authorities and institutions to benefit the community we feel part of. We support national excellence, especially in the areas of creativity and technological research.

Every design and production decision we make is based on an assessment of its capacity to respect the environment, and we make lighting systems that optimise energy consumption and only illuminate when and where light is needed. We limit light pollution to protect the night and conserve the natural biological rhythms of flora and fauna. Our products are durable and reliable, and we rationalise the use of materials and resources throughout every stage of development.

All stages of design and production have always taken place in Italy, in the same places where we started in 1908, in synergy with a tight network of local companies with which we have established solid relationships of trust over time. We consider it important to limit activities to the local area so that we can meet with our collaborators.

Every place is different and every place deserves its own light. Our lighting systems are flexible and offer many configuration variables to suit the specific needs of each design. When necessary, we develop tailor-made solutions in collaboration with our customers. The degree of flexibility we have achieved by producing what the customer wants, from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective, means that we are able to customise our range.

Cariboni was established in 1908 in Lombardy, making accessories for electrical lines. This Workshop marked the starting point of a great Italian business, designing and producing increasingly innovative products: from Italy’s first electric railways to high voltage power lines, from large floodlights for lighthouses to outdoor luminaires. From 1965 the company put its original thinking to good use, developing major technological innovations in the lighting sector in terms of design, optics, electronics, materials science and production. It made outdoor urban, street, architectural and functional lighting products. Over time, it became a leader on the European outdoor lighting market.

Today, as in 1908, Cariboni stands out for its entrepreneurial culture oriented towards innovation and quality. It continues to form solid and synergetic relations in the same local area in which it was founded, and exports Italian know-how worldwide.
