Pioneering ambition
Operational excellence
With production sites in Europe and in Asia, we are amongst the leaders of micromobility lighting in the world. We guarantee optimal product quality and safety, whilst respecting ISO-standards.
Spanninga Netherlands
Nestled in the heart of Friesland, the Netherlands, our head office stands at the very place where our first factory was built, in the year 1947. This historic location serves as the core epicenter of our operations, housing our dedicated R&D Design Hub. It’s where the legacy of authenticity, innovation, and excellence lives on, driving us to shape a brighter future in micromobility lighting.
Spanninga France
Based in the Rhône-Alpes-Auvergne region (Nantua), renowned for its plastics industry, Spanninga France is proud to be able to produce “Made in France” items. Production flexibility combined with a multitude of knowledge acquired for decades allow supplying various requests, even small series.
Spanninga France entered the Group in 1992 but the company, then called JOS, has been producing and marketing bicycle lights since 1935. In its long history, it has even extended its know-how to the motorbike and automobile industry.
Today it is fully dedicated to micromobility lighting again, and the production site consists in a wide range of semi- and fully automated manufacturing processes as well as high precision assembly processes. The geographical proximity of the Plastic Valley is a great source for local partners in plastic injection moulding and machinery.
Spanninga China
Located in one of the high tech industrial development zones of the Chinese Guangdong province (Shunde), Spanninga China was created in 2006 and then called Spanninga Bicycle Components. It is born from the takeover of the European activities of the German lighting specialist Hella Bike.
The fully integrated and large facility of the manufacturing site of Spanninga China (with for instance in-house processes like electronics production, injection moulding and metallisation) make it possible for us to industrialise large-scale projects and supply customers all over the world.
The highly efficient industrial equipment combined with extremely committed teams offer our customers support in the development and industrialisation of our products.
