The warehouse infrastructure that ONE Light is implementing in Dali Industrial Area is anticipated to be completed at the beginning of 2026, and at a later stage within the same year, also the offices of the company’s integrated office complex headquarters.
The new facilities are expected to greatly facilitate the company's internal processes and will increase productivity, as ONE Light CEO, Yiotis Demetriou explained in an interview with InBusinessNews.
Demetriou emphasised that the new ergonomically designed workspaces, combined with the modern digital functions that will be implemented, will form the basis for a new corporate culture in line with European standards.
Regarding this year's course of the B2B market for LED technical lighting, Demetriou said that despite the current negative circumstances, which affect trade relations on a global scale, ONE Light "has managed to maintain its momentum at the same levels as the period before the onset of difficulties, having significantly strengthened processes related to marketing and research for new products and lighting technologies."
Where are the construction works of the new facilities in the Dali Industrial Area currently located and what are the next steps until completion?
The works are continuing according to plan. The consolidated complex will include all of the company's infrastructure, namely warehouses and offices. Due to the growth of our activities, there is a great need for new storage spaces, which stems from the company's policy to maintain inventory availability at a level of at least 95%, for the immediate service of its customers. For this reason, priority has been given to the construction of the warehouse infrastructure, which is estimated to be completed in early 2026. The offices will be completed at a later stage within the same year.
What new do the unified premises bring about in terms of corporate culture and internal communication? Have relevant adjustments to operational methods already begun?
The new ergonomically designed workspaces, combined with the modern digital functions that will be implemented, will form the basis for a new corporate culture in line with European standards. As an example of new ways of working, we mention the ongoing upgrade of digital applications related to warehouse processes (WMS) and customer management (CRM).
What is the forecast for increased productivity or cost reduction with the operation of the new facilities?
The new facilities will greatly facilitate internal processes, as there will be direct communication, even at a physical level, between the various departments with the warehouse and the technical control and quality laboratory. This will increase productivity as it will greatly reduce the time it takes to complete tasks.
How is the B2B market for LED technical lighting anticipated to move ahead in 2025?
There are negative circumstances currently affecting trade relations on a global scale. Nevertheless, our company has managed to maintain its momentum at the same levels as before the difficulties began, having significantly strengthened processes related to marketing and research for new products and lighting technologies.
Which foreign markets will you target most intensively in the coming years?
Certainly those in which there is still great room for growth. Africa and Latin America are under consideration and the necessary actions are already being taken to convert contacts that we have in the CRM system (prospects) from previous communications into customers.
Are there any other plans or investments for your companies that are in the works?
As the implementation of the new facilities is underway, until it is completed, there are currently no other plans, given the size of the investment. Upon completion, the conditions created will certainly form a basis for further development. Because we believe that in the modern era, a company must constantly adapt, upgrade and change, if it wants to always be one step ahead of its competitors.
