GMR Enlights : Thirty Years of Success and Luminous Values

It is with pride and gratitude that GMR Enlights celebrates the milestone of thirty years of activity in the public lighting sector . From a small spark to light that spreads all over the world . The company was founded as Ghisamestieri in 1993 , in Bertinoro , located in the heart of Italy and has undergone an extraordinary evolution . It has established itself as a manufacturer of luminaires for artistic , urban , street and functional lighting , spreading its light all over the world and bringing with it the warmth of family and the value of Made in Italy .

The company has a bright past and a brilliant future . Leardo Ravaioli , the founder , set the groundwork for a path of success , focusing on the production of artistic lighting and historical cast iron poles . In 2015 , after a long time at the helm of the company , Leardo handed it over to his son Cristiano , who accepted it with enthusiasm and opened a new chapter in the company ’ s history . Cristiano has led Ghisamestieri towards a renewed identity . The rebranding in 2020 was a turning point that set tradition , design and performance as the guiding values of the company . It involved also the choice of the new name GMR Enlights , which fully reflects the commitment to modern , high-performance lighting that is , however , based on experience and history . Cristiano Ravaioli , as the new CEO , has dedicated himself to further developing the heritage of excellence created by his father , while at the same time enhancing innovation and sustainable development . His strategic approach is based on research into modern industrial processes and new technologies to create lighting that meets the current and future needs of communities , in harmony with the ecosystem in which they live . One of the features of the new GMR Enlights is the focus on sustainability . The company has invested in research and innovation to make increasingly efficient products that reduce the impact of street lighting . GMR Enlights has always placed the quality marking “ Made in Italy ” at the centre of its mission to guarantee the genuineness of each product and support the local economy . The 30th anniversary celebration was the culmination of this passionate journey . The company proved to be a benchmark in the public lighting industry , with a solid history and an
even brighter future . The presence of suppliers , customers , industry professionals , consultants , former partners , and present and past employees highlighted the strong bond created around the business . A particularly emotional moment was the speech by Leardo Ravaioli . Leardo shared with passion and gratitude the fundamental steps of this long and bright path , recounted in his book I tell our story . GMR Enlights is now preparing to illuminate the future with a lasting light through dedication to work and commitment to the territory , without forgetting the spirit that made a small dream shine thirty years ago .
