Plessey has entered into a distribution agreement with Solid State Supplies to expand its European network. The deal will increase the GaN-on-Si LED manufacturer’s coverage in the UK and Ireland.
John Macmichael, managing director of Solid State Supplies, said, “Plessey’s GaN-on-Si technology looks set to cause major disruption in the LED lighting market. Our in-house lighting division is already geared up to support lighting and luminaire designers with these new LEDs.”
David Owen, Plessey’s regional sales director, added, “Plessey is very pleased to join forces with a distributor that has a focused lighting division already up and running, helping the significant number of lighting and luminaire makers in the UK.
"Solid State Supplies has a strong portfolio of products to support the lighting eco system which is now enhanced by the addition of the Plessey GaN-on-Si LED product range. This will accelerate the time to market for Plessey’s LEDs in this region.”
Last month, Lighting reported that Plessey had reached a distribution agreement with CODICO GmbH to expand its coverage in the central and east European, Italian and Danish markets.
