A&O Technology Named as Knight of Illumination Awards Bar Sponsor

A&O Lighting Technology GmbH is exclusive bar sponsor for this year's Knight of Illumination Awards (KOI). This year's invite-only event will be held at Battersea Evolution, London and promises to be a spectacular event.

A&O, which prides itself as "your partner for the latest in light technology -- worldwide," announces its support for this year's event as the industry gears up for this September's ceremony. The bar sponsorship provides KOI invited guests with an opportunity to network in convivial surroundings, following the more formal dinner and awards.

"We are aware of the importance of the KOI event and therefore delighted to offer the major support for the get-together after the awards," said Marco Niedermeier, CEO, A&O Lighting Technology.

A&O leases, sells, designs, and installs a huge inventory of lighting products, making the company a relevant sponsor for KOI - the only awards dedicated to celebrating the work of the professional lighting designer.

Over the years A&O has developed a worldwide network and today the company has business centers in Germany (the headquarters), UAE, USA, UK and Asia.

"The Knight of Illumination Awards is delighted to welcome A&O Lighting Technology as exclusive sponsors of the bar and after dinner get together," said KOI coordinator Durham Marenghi. "We're all looking forward to a friendly evening celebrating lighting design in all its many guises."
