The following press release is pretty important for me. my-tronic GmbH used to be one of my clients. Is my-tronic Ledon going to employ me from now on as well? Are they going to need the person who made a small village company known internationally? I don’t know. Let’s see, shall we? In the meanwhile, this is their own press release (I have nothing to do with it. I just distribute it!)

- Takeover of operations of my-tronic GmbH based in Morbach/Germany

Very interesting. Far too many people ignore color when developing a web site. I like the orange / blue theme here it draws your eyes right to the content, nice clean look. You also have great content which helps.
Thanks, David. Your comment refers to Defining Online Branding – Part 4 – Color Psychology I suppose. This site is a standard WordPress theme. I chose the simplest one because I didn’t want to distract the readers from the topic. What really makes me happy is your response to the content of the site. Thank you once again!
Nice to see that Zumtobel / Ledon took over 20 people. It was sad for me, as a member of the former my-tronic crew, to see the company unnecessarily go down. Too bad I never had a real chance, during my “my-tronic-times”, to change, develop and move the company in a better position.
The new web site really was a beginning in the right direction.
I am convinced that the “new my-tronic” now really has a chance to be profitable (esp. because of a professional management) and find its spot in the led-market.
I am glad to see you are still watching my-tronic, Markus. I know you were comitted to the team, and we all know what went wrong. The people at my-tronic are professionals and the new managers are indeed what this company needed.
Sure I am (I actually did not plan to leave the my-tronic crew, but because of certain developments and because I had a totally different opinion about my-tronics way of business – there was no other solution for me!) and I have to admit, Mihaela, you also had right aspects concerning my-tronic, but at that time I had not the full insight yet to realize this.
I am still convinced that my-tronic has a good chance “to shine” in the LED/SSL market – know there is a management what finally has the power and the will to change things suiting market requirements and e.g. give the R&D the time and responsibility they need to finish things.
As a matter of fact my-tronic will not shine so bright. As “my-tronic Ledon” the company is just going to produce and develop for LEDON. All products are going to be LEDON brands. The “my-tronic” name will fade away… The new company has no logo of its own, no separate company philosophy… nothing. So guess who is going to shine?
Hi, Mihaela Lica, I know you by surfed on the internet come across…
And I had saw your website provided by a b2b website.
and logged in. found your website is just one page of similar Japanese language …and then nothing…
Haha ..just a comment here.
Our Co. tianxiong(upstar) lighting is a LED lights manufacturer for kinds of . I also wrote your a letter to your mailbox.
Hope we could buld a win-win cooperation.
Mr. Yip, I have nothing to do with My Tronic anymore. In fact, that company closed years ago. All I do is public relations. I am in no need of LED lights, sorry.
For more information re future LED applications, consider attending the 3rd Annual Auto Lighting Design & Tech conference in Dearborn MI, USA May 21-23. Call me with a cc to register or email me for a flyer….anthony.barbuto@iqpc.com……646 253 5514……cheers …ATB
