2003-2005

LUMEN customers and the market move into the Balkans. LUMEN is challenged to follow by other strong companies which during this period expanded into Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia.

2004

Foundation of the holding company LUMEN INTERNATIONAL a.s. The main task of the company is to manage and coordinate companies in the LUMEN Group, to plan further development, manage finances and prepare development projects. From the current perspective, LUMEN INTERNATIONAL a.s. takes the bold decision to establish subsidiaries in Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia:

      - LUMEN Romania SRL

      - LUMEN Bulgaria EOOD

      - LUMEN Elektromontaža d.o.o

2005

There is a gap in the market and the current ASSEMBLY - SERVICE segment needs to be completed by a POWER SUPPLY sector. This leads to the establishment of LUMEN ENERGY a.s (CR) and LUMEN ENERGY SR a.s. Within four years, LUMEN ENERGY becomes a significant competitor in energy and gas supplies to strong companies including ČEZ, E.ON, PRE and others.

2005-2006

A period where LUMEN focuses on the Balkans and dispatches its best people including project-managers, technicians etc. to aid these countries; the electro assembly market in the CR and SR begin to experience shocks. One of the strongest electro-assembly companies goes bankrupt followed by some medium-sized electrical engineering companies. Suppliers and banks immediately respond
and tighten the conditions for supply, payment terms and arrangements etc.

2006

Despite the difficult conditions, the group continues to grow. Customers prefer our after service; LUMEN builds on its history and focuses on individual service, within the subsidiaries or by providing service outside of LUMEN assembly. In 2006, the SERVICE division separates from LUMEN a.s. and LUMEN SERVIS CZ a.s. is created.

2008

LUMEN INTERNATIONAL a.s. enters into proportionate ownership of the German company NOVALUX GmbH, an exclusive holder of the know-how for a range of lighting with a special operation system. This system can save the customer up to 36 - 40% electricity!

In 2008, LUMEN INTERNATIONAL buys the licence for the operation of specific services in the Czech and Slovak Republics from the American company TEGG. The TEGG predictive maintenance system becomes one of the functioning modules used by the existing central service desk operated by LUMEN.

2009

Due to the recession in the construction industry caused by the global economic crisis, LUMEN begins to direct operations at the current market demand and sets up a new subsidiary LUMEN ENERGETICKÝ DEVELOPMENT s.r.o., which in cooperation with other subsidiaries develops and operates photovoltaic power plants and local distribution networks. Already within the first few months of existence, LUMEN ENERGETICKÝ DEVELOPMENT s.r.o. becomes the TOP company in the implementation of photovoltaic power plants in the CR and plans development projects in Slovakia and Poland.
