Welcome to episode 11 of @AuManufacturing Conversations with Brent Balinski.
Our guest on this episode is Taya Permezel, Director of Partnerships at Coolon LED Lighting.
Taya is part of an ambitious SME manufacturer thats very much on the move, which was recently featured during our Celebrating Australian Made Series, and which has won a collection of awards this year for its work delivering IoT solutions through its industrial lighting.
Coolon began in 2001. Its leadership team spent eight years before that running contract electronics manufacturer FLC Microdesign. Its heritage has made the difference as industrial LED lighting has taken off.
“We were quite fortunate in that we were a semiconductor engineering company that entered the lighting space, rather than a lighting company that was producing traditional lighting that was then required to change and learn to work with LEDs” Permezel tells us.
