About CUPOWER
Founded in 2009, CUPOWER specializes in the development, production and worldwide distribution of LED drivers, intelligent control systems and sensors. The portfolio comprises more than 300 standard solutions, complemented by custom developments. Manufacturing takes place in its own plants with integrated capabilities ranging from sheet metal forming and plastic injection molding to assembly and testing; the production facilities are controlled by a Manufacturing Execution System (MES). With an annual capacity of 40 million LED drivers, every unit undergoes a 100% burn-in test and a 100% end-of-line test. The company employs over 600 staff worldwide and sells its products in more than 70 countries, supported by European and North American subsidiaries in Hemer (Germany) and Lawrenceville (USA) as well as four R&D centers in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Chongqing and Hunan. Applications are in office, retail, hotel, education, industrial and smart lighting environments.
