Dear Managers and Owners of Show Caves! Dear Colleagues, Friends and Cavers!

It’s just amazing! When Cave Lighting was founded in 2005 out of a passion for cave exploration, I would never have imagined where we are today. Now we have received an award for doing what we love best: Getting people excited about the world of caves and mines!

This award means a lot to us and I would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the years and made this possible. I am overwhelmed and immensely pleased that we were able to convince the jury with our work.

Especially because there were some incredibly inspiring companies and agencies among the competitors. Congratulations to all the winners and a big thank you to our partners. Our heartfelt congratulations also go to @balbachdamast and @huerner, who were awarded in the categories “Craft” and “Industry and Trade” respectively.

The Hessian Export Award is presented every two years by the Hessian Chamber of Industry and Commerce @ihk_ffm and the Association of Hessian Chambers of Commerce as well as the @hmwk_hessen Hessian Ministry of Economics, Energy, Transport and Housing.

The prizes were presented by the Minister of Economics Tarek Al-Wazir, HIHK President Eberhard Flammer and Heinrich Gringel, President of the Association of Hessian Chambers of Trade.

Such encouragement gives us a huge boost of motivation and makes our work that little bit easier. With our broad expertise, we have succeeded over the years in occupying a niche in the fields of lighting design, electronic installation and speleology. We are now active internationally, from Myanmar to the USA in 21 countries. And there are still more to come.

In this sense, I am therefore above all very proud of my team, which is great at one thing among many others – putting up with me.
