Description BEGA, a third-generation family-held company, was founded in 1945. At its inception, BEGA began producing the world's finest architectural lighting solutions. Quality above all…from the very beginning!
Over time, through organic growth and the acquisition of other manufacturing operations, BEGA has developed into a vertically integrated manufacturing company with an international presence, now employing roughly one thousand people around the world.
BEGA was first introduced to the U.S. market through a licensing agreement with an interior luminaire manufacturer in 1961. In 1985, founding partner, Larry Routh, formed a joint venture partnership with the managing directors of BEGA, so the entire BEGA portfolio could be brought to the U.S. This partnership was the origin of BEGA North America, a U.S. corporation, and we credit our founding partners with the core values that guide us still today.
From our modest beginnings, essentially converting a limited number of European designs to U.S. standards, BEGA North America has grown into a multimillion-dollar corporation servicing all of North and Central America. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters are located just south of Santa Barbara in Carpinteria, CA.
