GLT LED TUBE for automotive production at BENTELER, Västerås

BENTELER, Västerås (Sweden) relies on the GLT LED TUBE for its production lighting. The complete retrofit of the production hall was carried out during ongoing operations – efficiently, reliably, and without any downtime. By replacing 1,625 outdated T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes with GLT LED TUBES, BENTELER now benefits from lower energy costs, reduced maintenance, and a durable lighting solution for automotive manufacturing.
