About TKH Airport Solutions
TKH Airport Solutions is a systems provider specialized in airport infrastructure, headquartered in Haaksbergen, the Netherlands. The company develops, manufactures and distributes LED-based airfield ground lighting (AGL) systems, including inset and elevated lights, PAPI, obstruction lighting, sequential flash systems, constant current regulators (CCR 961), base stations and taxiway guidance signs. The core product is CEDD technology (Contactless Energy and Data Distribution), in which energy and data are transmitted contactlessly via induction to the lights over a single cable; the lights are individually addressable, the systems are certified by TÜV Rheinland to ICAO and EASA standards, and the products are compliant with IEC 61820-3-2:2023. Manufacturing of the lights takes place in Nykøbing Falster (Denmark), with development and quality assurance in Haaksbergen and Lippstadt (Germany). The portfolio is complemented by software for aircraft deicing (Icelink, SmartPad), installation, maintenance, training and monitoring. CEDD AGL is in operation at 18 airports worldwide, including Amsterdam Schiphol, London Stansted, Vancouver and Geneva. TKH Airport Solutions is an Operating Company of TKH Group N.V., listed on Euronext Amsterdam.
