About Holtkötter
Holtkötter Licht GmbH is a German luminaire manufacturer based in Wadersloh (Bad Waldliesborn), Westphalia. The company was founded in 1964 by Franz Holtkötter and to this day develops and manufactures high-quality luminaires for residential and living-space applications at its headquarters. The product range includes floor luminaires, ceiling luminaires, pendant luminaires, uplights, wall luminaires, table luminaires, reading luminaires and battery-powered luminaires as well as light objects such as the Circular series. Production is predominantly in aluminium, including anodised and matte finishes, complemented by chrome surfaces. The company describes its products as “luminaires made in Germany” and they stand for high-quality materials, careful design and manufacturing, and long-term repairability; a voluntary five-year manufacturer's warranty from delivery as of 17.08.2026 underlines this claim. Distribution is via authorised partners in the EU, Switzerland, Norway and the United Kingdom. The Holtkötter family and its employees continuously work on innovations in the field of light and on the further development of existing series such as SuperNova and Plano.
