Intelligent, passionate, generous and curious, with a desire for innovation - this sums up “Mr. Dino”, as he was called by everyone. A true gentleman, who was led by his passion for work and founded Relco in 1967. Giuseppe Pisati, with the help and support of this wife Ernestina Donizetti, started off in the world of electrical engineering in lighting applications, in a small workshop in viale Lombardia, Milan, where together with a few collaborators the first dimmers were assembled.

Giuseppe Pisati founded Relco in 1967, which has now become RELCO GROUP, and today, his son Angelo Giuliano Pisati is Chairman. The entrepreneurial ability is noted in the ambitious project aimed at transforming a small structure into a successful enterprise. Thanks to his determination and the help of his collaborators, the brand took on global significance in the lighting technology, adjustment and controls sector.

In 2000, the L.C. Relco Group inaugurated the new 15,000 sqm Buccinasco premises, home to the research and design headquarters, sales offices and logistics department. The high engineering and design capacity, modern factories and accurate quality control guarantee product reliability. Today the Relco Group is renown throughout Italy thanks to a capillary and extended sales network that allows the company to operate in 40 countries spread in 5 continents, present in the largest distributors of electrical material and OEMs. In 2004, Leonardo Luce Italia joined the group, with lamps and lighting fixtures. Founded in 2003, Leonardo Luce Italia offers easy installation and excellent quality systems with rapid delivery times.
In 2006, Leuci, a historical manufacturing company of light sources, was purchased and merged with the range of electronic ballasts offered by Relco, Leonardo and Segno. Today the Company stands out amongst the most important companies in the sector for its innovation and variety, in particular in the LED lighting and energy saving fields. Today it offers both indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures and has established itself worldwide for product reliability and quality.

 

The Group’s spirit is reflected in the panther that distinguishes the logo: an icon of speed, energy and courage, which in turn reflect the company’s growth and expansion. Believing “unity is strength” is the basis of the Group’s evolution and the growth of each individual part of the Group. Optimising resources and entrepreneurship are the tools with which to approach an increasingly demanding market, through the mutual exchange of experiences of the companies involved. The collaborators are committed to unity in one dynamic organisation, so as to confirm the Group as a master of a global proposal that promotes continuous research for technologically innovative solutions.
