Nexxus Lighting, Inc. has executed a distributor agreement with PolyBrite International. Under the agreement, Nexxus will offer all of PolyBrite's Borealis LED lighting solutions to Nexxus customers.
PolyBrite International, based in Naperville, Illinois, has spent over 17 years developing technologically advanced, efficiently designed LED products. Key products are indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures, including state-of-the-art LED recessed flat panels, low-bay and canopy lighting systems, and area site and roadway luminaires. In addition, Nexxus will distribute Borealis' new LED T8, A19, R20, R30, candelabra and other decorative lamp products along with its premier Array line of LED replacement lamps.
"Part of our strategy with Nexxus is to provide leading-edge products and superior service," commented Robert V. LaPenta, Founder of Aston Capital and Board Chairman for Nexxus Lighting. "Research shows the growth for LED fixtures is expected to rise faster than that of other light source replacements. The market share for new LED fixture installations is estimated to rise from approximately 7% in 2011 to more than 45% in 2016 and approximately 70% in 2020."
"We are pleased that we were able to develop this strategic agreement with PolyBrite," added LaPenta. "We will continue to explore other strategic initiatives, including joint development, international sourcing and acquisitions in order to maximize growth opportunities and minimize costs."
"This Agreement allows Nexxus to provide a broader range of lighting solutions to the commercial, industrial, institutional and municipal markets," added Mike Bauer, President and CEO of Nexxus Lighting. "By partnering with PolyBrite, we quickly and efficiently added a full assortment of complementary bulbs and new luminaires with new technology that is clearly differentiated."
