As a leader in design and innovation in LED technology, Nimbus has developed an extensive range of series production luminaires for homes and buildings that are almost exclusively based on energy-efficient LED technology. And not only that: the company is also different from most other enterprises – and has been for 25 years now. You can see it in a lot of telling details. For example in the campaign in which Nimbus employees proudly presented themselves as "originals" in larger-than-life portrayals on huge advertising spaces to take a stand on the subject of plagiarism on behalf of their company. However, nowhere is the company's differentness more apparent than in its canteen: every morning at 10 o' clock, all 160 employees meet to take breakfast together. Company founder, proprietor and CEO Dietrich F. Brennenstuhl can also be found taking a seat at any one of the tables in the room. The walls of the canteen are adorned with a quote that sums up the company philosophy: "I DO NOT SEEK – I FIND. Seeking is when you start from old things. And in the new find what is already familiar. Finding is something completely new...".

Since it was founded in 1988, Nimbus has explored new avenues. The enterprise was the first to place its faith in LED technology for innovative lighting solutions, giving itself a global lead even ahead of the large corporations. Since 2006 Nimbus has realised around 8,000 LED projects and can now call upon a wealth of experience unique among its competitors: the spectrum ranges from fitting out houses, doctors' practices and schools through to complete office buildings and large company headquarters like the Unilever head office, the ADAC headquarters in Munich and the head office of the World Trade Organisation in Geneva.

Environmental-awareness is a further element at the core of the Nimbus Group brand. All of the company's activities from product development, manufacturing and quality assurance through to logistics and sales are concentrated at its location in the Feuerbach district of Stuttgart. Not only do the Nimbus vehicles run on electricity but over 90 per cent of Nimbus's suppliers are situated within a 200 km radius.

Nimbus will be providing intensive and, above all, efficient support for the Porsche Sports Cup.
