Lumitec LLC, a leading designer and manufacturer of extreme environment LED lighting solutions has announced their official partnership with Truck-Lite Co., LLC.
“We see in Truck-Lite a partner with a strong philosophical alignment around technology and customer service, combined with deep technical resources and a massive market presence. We couldn’t be more excited about our partnership,” said John Kujawa, Lumitec’s founder and president. “Our relationship with Truck-Lite expands our sales reach, broadens our access to suppliers and technologies and strengthens our ability to achieve our overarching goal of delivering exceptional value to our customers.”
Truck-Lite Co., LLC, a worldwide leader in heavy-duty and off-road lighting, telematics, engine protection, safety and visibility systems, employs 3,000 worldwide at ten manufacturing plants in the US, Mexico, and the UK, and today serves more than 4,000 OEM, fleet, and distribution customers. Truck-Lite offers Lumitec access to deep technical resources, global distribution, and strong supplier relationships.
“Lumitec’s reputation speaks for itself as one of the most trusted lighting suppliers among both boat OEMs and end users,” said Brian Kupchella, Truck-Lite CEO. “Combining Lumitec and Truck-Lite allows us to take advantage of each other’s distribution networks and share technology, helping Truck-Lite to expand into different markets while staying true to our core business.”
Lumitec management will remain in place with founder, John Kujawa, remaining a significant shareholder in the company and will continue to serve as company President. Overall, customers should expect to see very little impact of this partnership in the short term and over time Lumitec expects to be able to leverage greater economies of scale in vendor negotiations and manufacturing, while incorporating ever more sophisticated technologies.
The evolution in Lumitec’s quest to deliver exceptional value to our customers continues.
