About VAILO
Learn more about VAILO, the naming rights partner for the VAILO Adelaide 500.
VAILO is an Australian advanced technology company specialising in manufacturing ultra-high-performance LED sports lighting and as a premier solutions provider of LED digital displays tailored to sporting venues and major outdoor events.
Established in 2012 by visionary CEO Aaron Hickmann, VAILO started as a lighting wholesaler, underpinned by a steadfast vision to propel high-tech manufacturing within Australia. In 2022, Aaron’s vision came to life, and the company transitioned from importer to manufacturer. In the same year, VAILO became a solutions provider of LED digital displays, expanding on the sports venue offering. Subsequently, VAILO has completed a significant number of LED lighting and digital display installs across Australia.
VAILO Adelaide 500
Announced in 2022, VAILO was awarded the naming rights partner of the VAILO Adelaide 500 for three years.
Specialising in LED lighting and digital displays for sports, including motorsport, VAILO felt particularly aligned with the partnership.
Just as VAILO brought back advanced manufacturing to South Australia, the VAILO Adelaide 500 was returned to the state in 2022.
