Passion
for light.

At the very outset, there was just a burning passion for light. Now as a Group, we continuously strive, day in, day out, to wield and forge this passion into amazing lighting solutions that shine out around the world. Each and every one of our brands has a unique character, from XAL to Wever & Ducré and Wästberg to the very latest addition, IQ LUX. But collectively we pursue one and the same goal: to realise the visions and concepts of our customers to the highest levels of quality and sustainability. Each brand embodies its own distinctive style, but we are all driven by our shared passion to create lighting that really shines out.

XAL
Lighting without limits

Born of the passion of Andreas Hierzer, 35 years ago, XAL works in close collaboration with architects, designers and planners to create individual luminaires and lighting systems at the cutting edge of technology. And always with a single aim: to rise to the challenges of technical feasibility and create designs that are truly visionary. At the heart of our passion, the desire to overcome the seemingly impossible inspires and drives XAL every day. From the first spark of an idea to the shining light of innovation: our path breaks boundaries and crosses borders.

The first spark of light

The first glimmer from the Xenon Lights company was ignited by the founder and mastermind of the group, Andreas Hierzer, in a garage. At a time when halogen lighting was all the rage, he was already developing lighting solutions that broke through the barriers of technical feasibility.

International expansion

Alongside opening up subsidiaries in the USA, Germany and Switzerland, an international sales network was established. Consolidation of the brand and its distinctive visual appearance ultimately came together through participation in the world’s leading trade fair, Light + Building in Frankfurt, and Xenon Architectural Light evolved to become XAL.
