Heritage
GDS was founded in 2004 with a focus on finding practical solutions to the lighting challenges faced by the entertainment industry. Our 40-strong Bristol based team created innovative products and control solutions, quickly establishing the company as a market leader. Our backstage lighting Blues System, industry-leading SM console (stage management desk), and perfectly dimmable ArcSystem for auditoriums can be found in some of the most exciting and high profile buildings across the globe.
Our growing international reach led to the opening of GDS Korea in 2017, to better serve the Asian lighting markets with locally manufactured products at the same high GDS standards.
In 2019 the launch of GDS Architectural takes us to new heights and heralds an ambitious new era for GDS as true pioneers of light.
