About HEP GmbH

HEP GmbH, headquartered in Schalksmühle (North Rhine-Westphalia), develops and manufactures electronic components for the lighting industry. The portfolio includes LED drivers in constant-current and constant-voltage versions, professional dimming technologies (DALI, DALI-2 DT6/DT8, Casambi, 1-10 V, Touch Dim, phase-cut, radio control), power track systems with integrated in-track adapters, the HEP+ light management system with Human Centric Lighting, and emergency lighting systems with automatic test function and DALI-2 interface. The current draw of the drivers can be set via DIP switch or NFC. The HEP Group was formed in 2001 from the founding of HEP GmbH in Germany and WeiSen Electronic Co., Ltd. in Zhuhai (China); in 2002 HEP Tech Co., Ltd. was established in Taichung (Taiwan) as the seat of management and the R&D center. While production takes place in Zhuhai (ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certified), the German site acts as the European sales and service center with a warehouse as well as research and certification department (DEKRA). The publicly listed group supplies more than 50 countries worldwide.
