DESIGNING LIGHTING FOR GENERATIONS
Franklite is celebrating a very prestigious milestone this year , its 50th year in the design , manufacture and distribution of high-quality decorative lighting
Over the years Franklite has manufactured exquisite products for the retail , commercial and hospitality markets including bespoke project designs .
The passion for lighting has been within the Lissauer family for three generations . Taking his father ’ s passed down knowledge and many years of experience owning a number of lighting shops in various provinces of South Africa Frank Lissauer decided to relocate to the United Kingdom and establish Franklite in 1973 .
Growing and developing the business over the years took dedication and countless hours of hard work by Frank Lissauer but these responsibilities were eventually shared when his son , Mark Lissauer joined the business in 1999 .
The family owned business has achieved significant milestones over the 50 years which include moving to a much larger purpose built factory in 1990 after quickly outgrowing the previous premises , an in-house laboratory which holds state-of-theart lighting technology which very few other lighting manufacturers within the UK possess , an expansive warehouse and assembly area where products and parts undergo stringent quality control and finally an exquisite showroom .
