From March 8-13, 2026, the Light + Building trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany, the world’s largest event for lighting and building technology, has been a defining moment for Sonepar and its customers. It united experts from all segments: architecture, lighting design, electrical trades, system integration, retail, wholesale, industry and manufacturing, and welcomed over 140,000 visitors from around the world.
This event provided a unique opportunity to see first-hand how sustainability, connectivity and innovation, are shaping the future of our industry.
Our global presence allows us to combine scale with local relevance, working closely with valued partners to improve operational efficiency and accelerate the path from innovation to market. By combining global expertise, AI insights, and strong partnerships, we can build a more sustainable value chain for generations to come.
Hear from Jerome Malassigne, President Sonepar Europe & Sonepar Global Sourcing, Lamaro Parreira, SVP Sonepar International Services, Paolo Spotti, International Lighting Director, and Artur Puzinas, International Market Director, on how our partnerships drives our shared ambitions to bring concrete results for our customers.
"What is amazing is the level of partnership that we have together with our suppliers. They do not consider us as a distributor. They consider us as a business partner."
