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>.
