Italian manufacturer Clay Paky is getting ready for a new phase in its history. Pasquale Quadri, founder and current president, has signed an agreement for the acquisition of the company by Osram, one of two leading light manufacturers in the world.
Clay Paky will continue to operate from its production and administrative head office in Bergamo. The acquisition is subject to approval by the relevant antitrust authorities.
“Integration with Osram, which has a great wealth of technological competence and an in-depth knowledge of the lighting market, is an ideal opportunity for the further
development of Clay Paky,” says Pasquale Quadri. “After 40 years crowned by success, I am delighted to be able to offer my company, my staff and our customers a reliable solution for a secure future. Osram plans that Clay Paky will maintain its independence to a large extent in day-to-day business, and key positions will remain in the company, thus ensuring continuity in management.

professional lighting systems. Its wide range of products includes several types of
computerised luminaires, featuring conventional or LED sources.
