Meet MST

We operate in the electronics industry and produce lighting components. Our company is located in north-eastern Poland, in Kętrzyn. MST was formed as the result of the management buyout of the Philips Lighting electromagnetic ballasts factory in Kętrzyn. In April 2011 Management Team purchased the factory and the MST brand from Philips. Our company became an exclusive supplier for Philips of electromagnetic ballasts for HID lamps of the Philips brand in Europe, Middle East and Africa. Our main activity is the production of lighting components: LED modules, LED drivers, electromagnetic ballasts for HID and fluorescent lamps, integrated HID systems, ignitors for HID lamps, filter and compensation coils.

Constant development

At the beginning of 2013, we invested in equipment for the production of electronics and in 2014 we began producing ignitors for HID systems as well as the production and sale of LED modules.

In 2017 we joined the Pol-lighting Lighting Equipment Manufacturers Association, and in 2018 we became a member of the ZHAGA lighting consortium.

In the second half of 2018, we started the production of LED drivers and in 2019 we launched the production of high power LED drivers (including 500W) for sports events and outdoor lighting aplications.

We successively develop and invest in equipment and technologies so that our production processes are as effective as possible and the quality is at the highest, repeatable level.

Our team consists around 200 employees.
