Experience<br />

Excellent ideas from <strong>Pracht</strong> since 1953<br />

The success story of our enterprise begins in the year 1953 through the<br />

production of an ISO OVAL luminaire. To meet increasing demand and in<br />

view of the resulting specialisation, the company <strong>Alfred</strong> <strong>Pracht</strong> KG was<br />

founded in 1963 by Margarethe and <strong>Alfred</strong> <strong>Pracht</strong>.<br />

As a high-quality manufacturer for higher protection class <strong>luminaires</strong>, the<br />

company was able to expand its core competence and grow confidently.<br />

Through the direct dialogue with our customers and short decisionmaking<br />

channels we now are in a position where we can flexibly adapt<br />

our production to market requirements. In order to maintain this advantage<br />

and meet the requirements of increasing standards, Dr. Friedhelm <strong>Pracht</strong><br />

founded the pracht group ® in 1999.<br />

Our quality driven company policy is based on the aspiration as an<br />

independent family company of being able to develop for us and our<br />

customers ever new and higher standards.<br />

Product Responsibility<br />

True recycling management and product responsibility already begins<br />

during the product development phase and integrates the aspect of waste<br />

disposal logistics within the product life cycle. This important aspect is of<br />

great relevance also within the entire pracht group ® .<br />

Besides the rethinking process by consumers who in future view<br />

themselves rather as “users“, a rethinking process by the manufacturers<br />

is also necessary since they are not only “product manufacturers“ but also<br />

the actual “waste producers“. Used products (= waste) are raw materials if<br />

treated as such after their usage period.<br />

Already at the decision-making stages relating to product development,<br />

production and consumption we are taking much more into account waste<br />

as the raw material of tomorrow, so as to ensure a secure future for coming<br />

generations.<br />

Within the pracht group ® the consistent inclusion of product responsibility<br />

within the process of product development comes first. By integrating<br />

the new EU directives WEEE as well as the fulfilment of the product responsibility<br />

in accordance with the foreseeable amendment of the Waste<br />

Management and Recycling Act (KrW-/AbfG) §22, as well as coming into<br />

effect of the EC Waste Framework Directive dated December 20, 2008,<br />

<strong>Pracht</strong> luminaire systems are developed in full environment awareness. An<br />

important aspect here is the design-wise optimisation of energy efficiency<br />

for <strong>Pracht</strong> <strong>luminaires</strong>.
