ADB Stagelight
ADB was originally founded in Belgium in 1920 by Adrien De Backer and it operated as a family owned business until 1987, when it was acquired by the SIEMENS Group.
At that time ADB had already pioneered some of the key technologies used in stage & studio lighting, such as digital dimmers, memory control systems, condenser optics for theatre spotlights and it was strongly established as a leading manufacturer with a capillary sales organization consisting of subsidiaries and independent distributors.
In 2002, the whole ADB-TTV Group was taken over by a group of private and institutional investers, headed by Christian Léonard, then General Manager of ADB-TTV France.
