BEGA North America is a world-renowned manufacturer of architectural lighting, control, and furniture solutions.

    Who we want to be

Companies create a vision statement to answer a very important question, where are we going? A vision statement says what the organization wishes to be like in some years’ time. It’s usually drawn up by senior leadership to take thinking beyond day-to-day activity in both a clear and memorable way. Here at BEGA, our vision is to be the industry's premier provider of architectural outdoor lighting, control, and furniture solutions.

Why we exist

BEGA North America is headquartered in the heart of the picturesque “American Riviera” just south of Santa Barbara. Additionally, we have BEGA Campus 2 (BC2), which is part of a master-planned community known as Baseline located in Broomfield, Colorado. Baseline is a community created for people who are social by nature, who value experiences over things, and who regularly gaze west towards the Rockies to remind themselves why they live in Colorado. Both settings offer endless access to the outdoors with plenty of activities such as hiking, sailing, and mountain biking. We offer an attractive compensation package, including health care, 401(k), paid time off, educational reimbursement program, wellness programs, and a remarkable work environment.
