2026 is a landmark year for Claypaky as it celebrates its 50th anniversary – a milestone shaped by continuous innovation, a commitment to excellence, and a strong ability to turn challenges into opportunities for growth.
As part of the celebrations, Claypaky has been visiting its suppliers across the world, and Show Technology was fortunate to host Alberico D’Amato, Claypaky’s Sales Director, and Raymond Chen, CEO of EK Inc.
Reflecting on EK Lights’ 2025 acquisition of Claypaky, Show Technology Managing Director Emmanuel Ziino said, “Under its new ownership, Claypaky has strong direction, renewed energy, incredible innovation and, above all, strong leadership.”
The visit was also a great opportunity for us to spend more time with Raymond, who was animated in his approach to products and was very well received. And, of course, it is always a pleasure to welcome the affable and charming Alberico to Show Technology,
“Celebrating our 50th and 30th birthdays together at Show Technology was an incredibly touching experience,” commented Alberico. “It meant a lot to me both professionally and personally, especially as I had the privilege to share those milestones with my dearest friend, Emmanuel. Spending those years together has made every achievement all the more meaningful.
“Show Technology team’s commitment has really laid a strong foundation for revitalising our brand in Australia and New Zealand, and it couldn’t have come at a more pivotal moment for Claypaky. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been part of it and look forward to building on this momentum together.”
The visit reinforced our belief that, with its strong manufacturing expertise, innovative mindset and expanded industrial base, Claypaky is well-positioned to continue shaping the future of entertainment lighting worldwide. The visit also coincided with the arrival of new Claypaky products, so stay tuned for more details.
