FISCHER & HONSEL GmbH presents itself

Fischer & Honsel GmbH develops, produces and distributes decorative home lighting.

With well over 1,000 articles, we offer all styles of interior lighting from modern to classic to country house.

On 32,000 m² of factory premises, we employ about 100 people at our site. A modern high-bay warehouse offers space for more than 20,000 pallets.

In our showrooms with an area of more than 2,500 m², our luminaires are presented to the professional public all year round.

We are happy to take care of the (lighting) needs of your customers. In these times, the desire for cosiness with homely light and the right luminaires is coming into even sharper focus.

 

From now on, we can call ourselves a climate-neutral company, which makes us proud! We have done a lot of preparatory work for this and will continue to spare no efforts and investments in the future to contribute our share to a better future. The "FH Go Green" project is a matter close to our hearts.
