Our story

 

Family owned business with long lighting experience

History

 

HBA was founded in 1988 as a small company with great ambitions. Three product managers broke free from what used to be a company called Hesselman and started HBA. What few people know today is that HBA stands for “Hesselman Bil Areo”, a name we inherited from the early employer of our founder.

The business has follow the shifts in technology and slowly cultivated the product range into the existing offer. When the first LED lamp came it put a new spin on the lighting market. The progression from halogen to Xenon and then on to LED has gone lightning fast. Nowadays LED is the only light source used in the industry.

Maybe it is a good thing that the products have evolved over the 30 years. What has sustained is our long-term owner. Per. In this day Per is an advisor to HBA and even though we do not always follow his advice and do as he wishes, it feels comforting to rest on the knowledge and experience only 30 years in the business can give you.
