Meljac acquires FD Éclairage – Le spot français and expands its expertise

An acquisition rooted in shared vision and values

The alignment between the companies reflects a mutual human and technical vision. On a visit to the FD Éclairage – Le spot français plant in Eure-et-Loir, the Meljac management team saw a company that shared Meljac’s core values: skilled craftsmanship combined with industrial know-how, local production, and a strong commitment to French expertise.

Acquiring the company will enable Meljac to develop capabilities in lighting and expand its range of bespoke products, especially given the key role played by lighting in contemporary interior design projects, from dimmable LEDs to home automation. It will also enable FD to move its range upmarket, incorporating complementary products in line with Meljac’s premium positioning.

“This acquisition is a fantastic opportunity in strategic and human terms. FD shares our commitment to French production and locally based teams, product excellence, attention to detail and technical skill. Together, we will boost our product catalogues by combining our expertise, with FD’s quality lighting feeding into Meljac’s ranges and Meljac’s high-end designs applied to FD’s creations.”

Jean-Michel LAGARDE, Managing Director of Meljac

Continuity, stability and new prospects

FD Éclairage – Le spot français will retain its identity, production site and organisational setup. The teams will remain as they are but will have access to additional facilities, with Meljac’s fleet of machines, tools and structure providing more flexibility, creativity and development capabilities.

FD Éclairage – Le spot français will continue to offer reliable products, made in France, while gradually exploring new possibilities, such as specific products that meet emerging needs, more upmarket ranges with spotlights incorporating Meljac finishes, and access to new markets, especially abroad.

“This alignment with Meljac secures the future of FD Éclairage – Le spot français. It gives us the capabilities to develop our range, return to controlled growth and offer our clients ever higher quality solutions, while remaining true to our identity and our environmental and ecological approach.“

Marie-Line DAVID, Managing Director of  FD Éclairage – le spot français
