EXPERIENCE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
The SCHUCH brand stands for many success stories, but especially for the success story of explosion-proof luminaires.
The protection of explosion-hazarded workplaces places much higher and more demanding requirements on a luminaire manufacturer than the use of technical luminaires in other industrial areas. The development, design and manufacture of explosion protected luminaires therefore requires a high level of expertise, a thorough knowledge of standards and operator regulations and a wealth of experience. Mistakes and negligence due to lack of knowledge or experience can have existential consequences for customers.
COMPETENCE PROVIDES SECURITY
Competence has to be earned. That is why, from the very beginning, we have focused on concentrating all our activities in-house. A strategy that we continue to pursue today.

Participation in national and international standardization committees
Early knowledge of developments in the standardization field is of paramount importance for the design of explosion-protected luminaires. We have been very active in this area for decades.
Currently, the head of our explosion protection development department is the chairman of the German working group and the international IEC working group for explosion-protected luminaires, the two most important bodies in this field.
