History
The company was founded in 1912 in Menden by Wilhelm Lenze.[1] It originally produced accessories for the lighting industry, and simple tube pendant and wall fixtures for gas and electric lighting. The manufacturing facilities soon reached capacity, so the company moved in 1934 to Arnsberg (then named Hüsten) and extended the building to manufacture residential lighting. At this time, the company had about 50 employees.
