Lighting technology specialist Dialight plc, based in the Cambridge UK cluster, has secured a $1 million order from a leading international mining company based in Indonesia.
The order from an unnamed copper and gold mining company covers almost 2,000 LED lighting fixtures. They are being supplied for a new underground conveyor system for the mine.
The mystery customer – described by Dialight as a recognised leader in international mining operations – chose Dialight's LED fixtures for their longevity and reliability in harsh environments.
Dialight's fixtures are resistant to shock and vibration common in these applications, and ultimately improves safety for the mine workers with reliable and enhanced illumination.
Dialight will start delivery in September, with shipments continuing through to the end of the year.
The company has further strengthened its foothold in Asia by establishing a Joint Venture in Singapore and is hiring new staff.
Dialight has established Dialight Asia Pte Limited, a joint venture with Lumina Holdings Systems Limited in the territory. Dialight Asia will be responsible for the promotion and sale of Dialight industrial white lighting products throughout South East Asia.
The new company will be largely supplied from Dialight's new facility in Penang, Malaysia and will address key oil and gas markets in the region.
As well as a number of sales personnel who will be transferred from Lumina, Dialight Asia will recruit further sales people to take full advantage of these new opportunities as they arise.
