Key Terms<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n\n\n
><\/td>\nOn December 31, 2010, TRILUX, Germany\u2019s leading luminaire manufacturer, acquired RSL Rodust & Sohn Lichttechnik, a supplier of high-quality special luminaires.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Strategic Logic<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n\n\n
><\/td>\nWith the acquisition of RSL, TRILUX aims to intensify its own project business to expand its contacts towards architects and light planners as well as to provide an integral offer to its clients of serial applications and individual lighting solutions from a single source. As a brand, RSL will continue its business on a stand-alone basis within the TRILUX-Group.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
><\/td>\nAs a consequence of the economic crisis, RSL was facing liquidity problems, even though it had a high volume of orders. Large-scale projects, which were assumed to be realized soon, were shifted. By means of a very fast and stringent sales process, RSL was able to win TRILUX as investor and to successfully close the liquidity gap.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>
