About Ammanu

We go for solutions with impact. We make innovative and practically applicable solutions where lighting makes the difference for people. The lighting solutions that we create makes people feel better. And this in turn ensures that people function better. We truly believe in our role in creating a good work environment.

We are committed to create a better working environment

To achieve this, we look at what a good working environment really needs. We then develop and produce the lighting systems completely in-house. This way we can fully guarantee the quality and durability of our products.

We stand for a better environment

AMMANU comes from the word ‘amanuensis’. This is the ‘science teacher’ who can explain exactly what it is about technology. And that is our role too; Based on scientific research, we want to design and produce high-quality LED lighting and we also want to explain and transfer this clearly. As an active partner, we think along about sustainable, energy-efficient and cost-saving LED solutions for clients. Because that it must and can be done more sustainably is clear to us. We stand for ‘LED technology for life’. Also in office buildings.

OUR HISTORY AND AMBITIONS

The AMMANU story begins in 2010. The old friends Niels Leijten and Michel Schrijvers regularly travel and make various diving trips together. The beauty of the underwater world takes them to special places.

The seas and oceans clearly show that the world is being polluted at a rapid rate. During their travels to Asia, they are confronted with children who dig mercury twelve hours a day. The realisation is growing that things can and must be done differently.

After a lot of thought and discussion, the desire arises to develop sustainable, durable LED lighting together. Part of this discussion is the incorporation of dynamic lighting, with easily adjustable light output and colour. It turns out that the heat development in the LED luminaires is the bottleneck in this. This brings them across the path of an old college friend, Jan Vreenegoor. He is managing a technical company in Ireland.

After extensive research, he is able to tackle the problem of heat management and with that he can create a longer service life. Jan’s former right-hand man in the company, the Slovak engineer Pavol Ondruska, would like to return to Slovakia with his family after his adventure in Ireland. He takes up the challenge to set up the production branch of AMMANU from there.

For a better insight into the aspirations and needs of the clients and translating this to the solutions of AMMANU the friends get in contact with another old acquaintance, Arno Groot. Arno is at that moment responsible for a company in raised access flooring and a company that produces public lighting solutions. After a short period of negotiating Arno accepts the challenge and joins the team.

AMMANU is born and ready to light up the world!

At AMMANU we want to make a difference. Based on our technical knowledge, scientific research and our focus on people, we want to develop solutions that contribute to a pleasant, healthy environment. Solutions that are honest and genuine, that are innovative and of high quality and that are also extremely sustainable. We are happy to share our solutions and knowledge with you.
