Massive
Massive was originally a bronze foundry and they mainly produced candelabras, crucifixes and chandeliers in Wilrijk near Antwerp, Belgium. The company was founded in 1926 by Pieter-Jozef De Jaeck. His son Eddy De Jaeck was responsible for the company's massive expansion in the 1970s. But it was his sons, Piet and Jan De Jaeck, who turned Massive into a true multinational company. For example, they moved production to Eastern Europe and China.
In the 1980s, Massive became the leading brand in Europe. In 2002, the brothers left the company to the investment fund CVC Capital Partners, for reportedly more than 250 million euros. Since 2008, the company has been owned by Philips and the name of the stores was changed to Light Gallery.
Lamp comes without light source.
