Taiwanese firm Lextar enters TWSE

With a stable output in TFT-LCD backlight applications, Lextar has built up its production and technology capacities in a very short time and secured its niche in the lighting market.

 

Lextar Electronics went public on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) yesterday and has become the only company in Taiwan’s LED industry with vertical upstream to downstream integration. 

Specialising in manufacturing high-brightness LED epi wafers, chips and packages, as well as energy-saving and smart lighting products, Lextar was established in May 2008 in Hsinchu, Taiwan. The firm has occupied a unique position in the LED industry that employs a business model of up-down integration. With the merger in March 2010 with LightHouse Technology, a domestic packaging manufacturer, Lextar has experienced fast paced growth. 

Sales revenues in 2010 reached $ 255 million. David Su, Chairman of LEC, indicated that, with a stable output in TFT-LCD backlight applications, Lextar has built up its production and technology capacities in a very short time and secured its niche in the lighting market. 

Currently, Lextar’s lighting business constitutes nearly 40% of its total revenues and it has now entered the supply chains of the top three international lighting brands. Based on its vertical integration advantage, Lextar has been able to master the market opportunities and to create added value for international brands with their total solutions.

Lextar has positioned itself in full-spectrum lighting products and technologies of photometric, electrical, mechanical and thermal since it was founded. Lextar’s full series LED light tubes, with lengths from 1 to 5 feet and a variety of options of brightness, socket and colour temperature, are being shipped to customers at the volume of 200 – 300 thousand pieces per month. 

It has also started mass delivery of GX16 tubes which are compliant with Japan’s latest JEL801 certification. Meanwhile, LED bulbs and panel lights are already being received by international brand owners. Since 2011, Lextar has received large orders for LED lighting projects and has started shipping them out. 

The COB and LED light modules with various powers have also been launched. For COB product line-up, the low wattage COB products: the 4~7W, 8~15W, and 15~21W meet the requirements for light bulbs while the high wattage ones, the 30~50W can be used for downlights and floodlights.

With the Lighting Solutions and Value Provider strategy, introduced in the beginning of this year, and the technology and production capacity basis in epitaxy and chip, Lextar enters the integrated services arena for lighting markets while at the same time penetrating the ODM/OEM brand owners in EU, USA and Japan. 

Lextar is determined not only to capture the lighting channel markets around the world but also to adopt strategic partners in order to provide customers with quality products and services as well as to improve added value by way of multi-channels and multi-brands.
