about DREES

Lighting expertise - for almost 70 years

We see our work as a contribution to creating a world that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly efficient.

“In 1957, the foundation stone was laid for today’s company DREES Lichttechnik GmbH, which is now managed and designed by the third generation.

Our customer base plays an essential role in our daily work. In close dialog, we find tailor-made solutions for unique requirements and ideas.

And in doing so, we always surpass ourselves. What unites us at DREES is a shared vision and our passionate enthusiasm for light.”

– Christian Drees, Managing Director
