Alternattiva Demokratika Chairperson Arnold Cassola and Deputy Chairperson Carmel Cacopardo visited the Smart Light Systems production company Sicons Opto Products at the Technopark in Mosta.

Prof. Cassola said: “Smart Light Systems, which is a leading producer of LED lighting, is a living example of smart investment in the Maltese economy. In fact, the company is producing lighting systems which are energy saving. Alternattiva Demokratika is proud that, through the work of its local councillor Ralph Cassar, it introduced LED-lit street signage using solar energy at a pedestrian crossing in Attard. Today, various local councils are making use of this energy saving technology.

“Smart Light systems is also a model of job creation which should be followed by Maltese SMEs. In fact, the company started off with only three employees a few years ago. Today the company employs 23 employees, of whom 20 are female. Three females and three males form part of the management. Certainly, gender parity is more than prominent in this company. Moreover, the small company has developed into a reliable producer of lights for internationally renowned companies.”
