Mission Mission:
Building quality into everything we do.

We have an unwavering commitment to quality above all, in our people, products, partners, and processes.

Vision:
To be the industry’s premier provider of architectural outdoor lighting, control, and furniture solutions.

Very few industries offer such a beautiful blend of science and art. Around the world, BEGA products are used to transform cities, beautify communities, highlight our most sacred monuments, feature prominent landscapes, and illuminate architecture of all genres. We strike an emotional chord with the most seasoned eye and the casual observer alike, and believe nowhere else in the creation of our built environment can a manufacturer play such a meaningful role as the outdoors.

Core Values:
BEGA's core values can be summarized with four simple words: Trust, Community, Growth, and Responsibility.

Fostering Trust - Everyone at BEGA is responsible for creating an environment of trust. To do this, each of us must have the freedom to communicate with anyone, and it must be safe for everyone to offer ideas.

Building Community - We are a diverse community of passionate and self-driven individuals who act with integrity, treat people with kindness and respect, hold one another accountable to the highest standards, and collectively promote work-life balance.

Embracing Growth - We embrace perpetual growth and development, continuous learning, and constant improvement, enabling the brand, the organization, and the individual to realize their full potential.

Living Responsibly - We are committed to social responsibility and minimizing our impact on the environment over time. To deliver on this mission critical promise we take a balanced approach to people and the planet.
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.
