Masiero
The Masiero collections express a perfect balance between technical know-how and sophisticated aesthetics, ranging from classic products to contemporary items, for interiors and exteriors.
Manufacturing exclusively Made in Italy, high quality materials, technical ability to develop customized solutions, the passion for technology and design: these are the elements that combined together make Masiero unique. With over forty years of family business history, Masiero produces high-end decorative lighting items, with particular attention to the metal working process. Each product comes to life within the Casale Sul Sile (Treviso) plant, where the specialised production chain covers the entire production cycle.
The artisanal production and the internal management of the production process make it possible to customise each single item, adapting it to the customer’s needs. The traditional Venetian chandeliers are the starting point for conceptual innovations that have led Masiero to new horizons, close to architectural lighting. The company has an international vocation by exporting to over 80 countries, with a wide range of products that meet different needs and tastes.

Patrick van der Meulen
Patrick’s passion for working with people is as great as his passion for technology. For example, after studying mechanical engineering in Eindhoven, he worked as a medic during his compulsory military service. In 1994 he stepped into the lighting industry as an engineer. However, as he increasingly developed his people skills, he came to the conclusion that his job lacked the human interaction he finds so inspiring. This led him to enter the Sales arena.
He isn’t the type to promote ‘me-too’ products – he only advocates products that are truly special and have an interesting story behind them. This is what attracted him to eldoLED.
As Director of Business Development, Patrick loves motivating teams to push technical boundaries while learning from each other’s expertise. He especially enjoys the direct interaction with customers as well as colleagues across different departments, from engineering to marketing, and visiting interesting countries and places he might not normally visit. His sense of humour has definitely proven very useful in working with so many different people!
