On the website of De Lampenman we found this beautiful historical piece of information about the origins of Industria Rotterdam, where the origins of our company lie. Because we find it so fun and interesting, we have placed a link to the article and copied some quotes on our own website.
I have already owned several lamps from the Industria Rotterdam brand. While looking for information about the lamps and the history of this company, I discovered that there is almost nothing about it online. Industria Rotterdam was a Dutch manufacturer that produced lamps from 1920 to 2011. This company is especially special because they did not focus on mass production, but were specialists in customization. As a result, I regularly come across special lamps with the IR logo, of which it is not always possible to say what their origin, age or use is. Because there is nothing online about Industria Rotterdam, or Industria Technical Lighting as it was later called, I started looking for the necessary sources to change this, this website is the result.
Even though I am interested in many types of lamps, I have a preference for old industrial lamps and lamps that were previously used professionally, and in particular from the Industria Rotterdam brand.
Industria Rotterdam was one of the largest manufacturers in the Netherlands of marine lighting, explosion-proof lighting, street lighting and technical lighting and the great thing about this brand is that they were not a company with a focus on mass production, but that it revolved around customization. As a result, there are many special models from Industria Rotterdam, although it is not always possible to say how and where it was used. Industria Rotterdam can often be recognized by the IR logo, as shown here, which was often placed in the glass or on the fixture. Apart from this wiki about Industria Rotterdam, there is also a page with fixtures from Industria Rotterdam, if you have additional information about this or if you would like to make an old catalog available (temporarily), please let me know.
