I had a talk during ISAL 2019 with Kamislav Fadel, who at that time was just leaving Hella. He presented me his first work (and his dream) on vehicle lighting intelligence, explaining me that it is exactly what automakers, tier-1 and -2 lighting suppliers, and analysts and investors require for in-depth vehicle lighting understanding.
One year later, I again met Kamislav who presented his wonderful achievements. He was with Pascal Popis, former Senior Vice president of Lumileds, who joined forces with him to create LMI GmbH. Pascal was impressed by the results already achieved and convinced of the need for the market of qualitative Lighting data.
Lighting Market Intelligence (LMI), the brainchild of these experienced executives, promises to evolve the state of data collection, quality, and analysis in the worldwide vehicle lighting industry. Having served for more than 50 years combined as senior executives and board members for some of the largest companies in the industry, both co-founders have experienced firsthand the challenges that arise in making informed and accurate strategic choices and even in taking quality operational business decisions based on the lack of quality data availability.
DVN sees the LMI business-idea as a unique service in lighting which was not available before. We are excited about this energetic startup, and we wish LMI great success.
Sincerely yours,
