In June 2022, the Renoux Group started the production of LED lighting systems at its new Cholet site, relocating the production of its subsidiary, Induslum, from China. Induslum specializes in high-powered lighting for the tertiary, industrial, and sports sectors. Through this move the Renoux Group aims to ensure quality and control for these high-value products and lower production costs through eco-design. The Cholet facilities have expanded to 2,700 square meters, accommodating new metalworking workshops, component deposition and welding lines, and assembly facilities, for a €1.2 million investment. The Cholet initiative starts in 2022 with a team of three people, and the group plans to create 15 new positions within the next three years. The Renoux Group maintains a presence in China through a subsidiary focused on producing lighting for the housing sector.
