Stay-Lite Lighting acquires Indiana firm
Published July 23, 2008 - BizTimes Daily
Pewaukee-based Stay-Lite Lighting has acquired Avon Electric Inc. of Danville, Ind.
Avon is an electrical contractor owned by Jay Anderson and in business for more than 10 years. Anderson will continue with Stay-Lite as branch manager.
"The combination of Avon's electrical business and Stay-Lite's lighting management specialty is an exciting opportunity for the industrial, commercial and retail businesses currently serviced by Stay-Lite as well as prospective clients," said Kirk Tuson, president of Stay-Lite. "Stay-Lite has been providing lighting maintenance and upgrades in Indiana for many years by traveling from Wisconsin. An Indianapolis-area based operation with locally employed technicians will enhance the service offering and response time. Also, the addition of an Indiana electrical license adds further value for our clients."
Stay-Lite also announced a partnership with Lutron Electronics of Coopersburg, Pa., enabling the company to offer electrical and lighting controls to its base of customers. Stay-Lite's factory-trained technicians will commission projects on behalf of Lutron to accommodate specialized installations for theaters, sporting venues and other settings with sophisticated lighting needs, including wireless applications.
