Learn about Haneco’s history as a 100% Australian owned and operated business, and our approach to delivering the latest innovations in LED lighting, renewable energy and control solutions.
Haneco Lighting, a proudly Australian-owned and operated company since 2011, is more than just a supplier of high-quality lighting solutions. We’re a team fueled by a passion for innovation and a dedication to exceeding customer expectations.
In 2011, Nicho Teng, the founder of Haneco, decided to use energy-efficient LED lights in a property development located in Adelaide. The success of this decision inspired Nicho to create his own LED lighting business, which has its manufacturing base in China. Over time, the company shifted its focus from the early retrofit solutions to more innovative designs and smart energy-saving sensors.
The company started its operations in Edwardstown, Adelaide, by approaching other businesses, specifying LED alternatives, manufacturing and supplying the lights, installing them, and providing maintenance. The company’s commitment to providing high-quality products and services led to an expansion of their operations with a retail outlet and showroom located on Anzac Highway.
In line with the development of LED technology, Haneco experienced rapid growth and was awarded South Australia’s Fast Movers prize for 2014, due to achieving a 315% increase in just three years.
Haneco initially used a direct sales approach. However, as the company started growing, it shifted towards a wholesaler business model. The Anzac Highway showroom was shut down, and P&R Electrical, which is one of the biggest independent electrical wholesalers’ networks in Australia, became the first to include Haneco’s LED lighting in their range. Gradually, more wholesalers started following suit, and Nicho Teng, the company director, had to move from the original facilities. He remarked, “The business had outgrown the Edwardstown premises as the warehouse was not big enough to sustain the volume of lights needed to keep up with the pace and demand of the market.”
Moving to a wholesaler model proved to be a great success by not only providing access to new markets but establishing trust and enhanced the reputation of the company among the industry.
It has accelerated Haneco’s expansion nationwide and fueled the continued growth that has seen the company move yet again in 2016 to its current substantial warehouse, office and R&D headquarters behind the Adelaide airport in Netley, South Australia.
Not only does the company make and distribute lights, but its in-house experts also provide advice and lighting designs for a whole range of clients. Our team creates designs for everything from luxury hotels and shopping centers to car parks and country bowling clubs.
The 10 year anniversary of Haneco’s inception was met with great pride and an enhanced sense of motivation for all Haneco staff members.
Our priority today is to keep abreast of advances in light source, control drivers, smart luminaire design and connectivity technology.
Haneco’s portfolio today provides a comprehensive range of quality products and solutions that are designed to meet the varying requirements of our customers. No matter the project type, functional application, aesthetics, budget or scale – we can cater to your requirements and users’ needs.
Innovation, product solutions, customer service underpinned by knowledge of lighting expertise and industry-leading technology.
