Greenlux Lighting Solutions was established in 2007 to fulfill the market need for advanced LED solutions for general lighting. The company was founded with a vision to merge technologies and innovations to the lighting solutions. On the other hand, recognizing the increasing demand for well-researched horticultural LED solutions to optimize plant growth and yield, Valoya was founded in 2009.

A strategic merger took place in early 2023 between Valoya and Greenlux for a synergistic collaboration that brings together the strengths, expertise, and innovation of both entities.
