Lyco Group has been acquired by efectoLED

The shareholders of Lyco Group Ltd. have sold the business to efectoLED, the leading online lighting distributor in Southern Europe and a portfolio company of Miura Partners.

Lyco Group is a UK-based B2C and B2B multi-channel distributor of lighting products. The company operates four online lighting distribution sites that include both third party and own branded products. In addition, Lyco Group has a B2B channel, serving corporate customers in a variety of sectors, including hospitality, healthcare and education, among others. With this acquisition, efectoLED positions itself as a reference in the UK and strengthens the decorative and offline channels of the group.

efectoLED is one of Europe’s leading online retailers of technical and decorative LED lighting, with a focus on the B2B channel. Founded in 2007 and based in Valencia, Spain, the company markets a wide portfolio of references to more than 500,000 customers, with Spain, France, Italy and Portugal being its main markets. In 2018, Miura Partners took a majority stake in order to accelerate the company’s internationalization plan.
