Dieter Polle, CEO DIAL
about the development of DIALux

Our team currently consists of more than 90 permanent employees. We work interdisciplinary and across teams in the middle of Lüdenscheid, the centre of the German lighting industry.

Our headquarters is an energy-efficient new building. The building is fully automated, and we designed the architecture and overall technical concept. We have developed the office lighting in such a way that it adapts to the biological daily rhythm of people, in accordance with the Human Centric Lighting concept. The focus is on the user, his needs and his comfort.

We have further locations in Italy, the USA and Taiwan.
