A WORD FROM THORN: Launch window training?

Last week, we met up with colleagues representing regions around the world for our launch window training at our Zumtobel Group Light Forum in Austria.

Over the course of a few days, we shared information about the newest solutions that we'll be bringing to market later in spring.

As well as getting hands on with the products, colleagues were given the opportunity to really understand the newest additions and where they'd be positioned within our portfolio.?

This means that they are now fully equipped with the training and tools needed to spread their knowledge with our wider sales teams and to our customers and partners.?

So - keep an eye out for next month's newsletter to find out about the indoor and outdoor controls and connected solutions coming - covering all major applications!??
