📍 Rudolf Staricky at the Bank of Lamps warehouse

Some visits are especially memorable. Recently, we had the pleasure of welcoming Rudolf Staricky – a true lighting industry legend who has spent decades shaping the business and has plenty of experience worth sharing.

With 35 years at Zumtobel Group, Rudolf has built an impressive career in lighting sales, business development and leadership across European markets. Today, he is the Founder & Owner of STAR motion and General Manager for Austria & Eastern Europe at NEKO Lighting AG, continuing to bring his expertise to the industry.

During his visit, Rudolf met with Sergej Tjurikov from Bank of Lamps and shared his experience in lighting sales. It was a great opportunity to exchange ideas and hear practical insights from someone who knows the industry from so many different perspectives.

What made the conversation especially valuable was Rudolf’s willingness to share the knowledge he has gained throughout his career. For our team, this was a chance to look at B2B sales through the eyes of someone who understands both the manufacturer’s and the distributor’s side.

Rudolf, thank you for taking the time to visit us and for sharing your experience so openly. We truly appreciate the conversation and everything we learned from you. It was a pleasure having you here, and our doors at Bank of Lamps are always open to you! 🤝

👻 We’ve got some new colleagues in the warehouse.

They’re not short on experience - some have a few centuries behind them. The ghosts quickly found their way around all 9,000 m² and discovered a shortcut straight through the shelves. With over €30M in stock, that’s a useful skill to have.

Orders keep coming in, so a few extra hands will come in handy. Even bony ones. If things carry on at this pace, the warehouse might look much the same in December.

We’ve prepared for the season: 12,000+ items are ready to ship.

📍 Spelsberg at the Bank of Lamps warehouse

We regularly welcome partners to our new warehouse. This time, it was Spelsberg’s turn to take a look around.

Günther Spelsberg GmbH + Co. KG specialises in electrical installation and enclosure solutions, including junction boxes, distribution boards and industrial enclosures. Founded in 1904, the company has over a century of experience in electrical installation technology.

Sergej Tjurikov and Dmitrijs Valegzanins welcomed Daniel Ruhrmann from the Spelsberg team and showed him around the warehouse. Together, we discussed our current cooperation and opportunities for working together in the future.

We especially appreciated Daniel’s enthusiasm and open approach. We’re glad to be working with someone who brings such a positive attitude to the partnership. It was a pleasure to exchange ideas in person and get to know each other better.

Thank you for the visit, Daniel. You’re always welcome at Bank of Lamps! 🤝

If you are a manufacturer, supplier or distributor visiting Latvia, come see our warehouse in person. Meet the people behind the operations, see how we work and explore opportunities for cooperation.

💡For Hensel Polska, local distribution starts well before an order is placed.

Bogdan Aleksandrov, Business Development Manager at Hensel Polska, sees a distributor as a partner who knows the local market, stays close to professional customers and helps keep projects supplied without unnecessary delays.

Local stock matters. With 12,000+ items ready to ship from the Bank of Lamps warehouse, B2B buyers can reduce waiting times, avoid product replacements caused by long lead times and plan deliveries more clearly.

🧛 Good thing we have vampires at Bank of Lamps.

With 9,000 m² of warehouse space, a little extra speed definitely comes in handy.

But the real B2B advantage starts with something much more practical – availability. More than 12,000 items are already in stock and ready to ship. That means less dependence on manufacturers’ lead times, more predictable delivery dates and less waiting between order and dispatch.

We’re definitely not against Cullen-style speed. We just prefer to back it up with real stock and well-organised logistics.

🤝 What makes a distributor a strong long-term B2B partner?

For the first edition of Partner Perspective, we spoke with Bogdan Aleksandrov, Business Development Manager for Latvia & Lithuania at Hensel Polska.

With more than 20 years of experience in the electrical industry, Bogdan has worked with distributors, customers and partners across different markets.

We asked him what makes cooperation work in the long term, what distributors often underestimate, and why trust still matters so much in B2B.

📍Visit to Siemens without leaving our warehouse

The Siemens DemoTruck stopped at the Bank of Lamps warehouse in Riga, turning a regular workday into an opportunity to explore Siemens solutions up close.

Inside, our colleagues could see low-voltage switching and protection solutions for electrical control panels in one place, learn about new developments in the range and discuss their applications directly with Siemens representatives.

Seeing the equipment in practice helps our team understand the range better and answer our B2B clients’ questions more clearly.

Thank you to Siemens for the visit and for sharing your knowledge with our team. Our colleagues enjoyed the format, and we are always happy to welcome partner initiatives that bring practical product knowledge directly to us. 🤝

🤝 One client request can mean speaking with five different people, checking several options and comparing prices before one clear offer is ready.

Mirons Polskis started at Bank of Lamps in client support, where he learned how the platform works and got to know the products. Today, as Sales Manager, he helps B2B clients find the products they need.

🏦 What does Bank of Lamps keep in its vault?

Not cash or gold bars. Our vault is a 9,000 m² warehouse in Riga holding more than €30 million worth of physical stock.

More than 12,000 items are ready to ship. This helps distributors restock faster, complete customer orders and plan purchases with fewer surprises.

No secret code required. Just a Bank of Lamps B2B account.
