GENLED Brands joins Principal Industries
Principal Industries has acquired GENLED Brands, the companies announced today.
GENLED Brands is comprised of Acolyte, which provides unmatched custom architectural lighting solutions for interior and exterior projects, and AgiLight, which offers premium innovative signage illumination solutions.
“Principal is the ideal partner for GENLED as we enter our next phase of growth,” said Scott Vontobel, President and CEO of GENLED Brands. “Both organizations share a customer-first culture, a focus on innovation, and a commitment to providing high-quality LED solutions. By joining forces with Principal, we will be better positioned to serve our customers, expand our product offerings, and capitalize on new opportunities in the market. As Principal is largely focused on signage lighting, this transition will allow GENLED Brands’ in-house engineering and development teams to focus 100% of their energies on advancing Acolyte products.”
“This is a great day for Acolyte,” added Hendue Vidal, GENLED Brands’ VP of Sales, North America. “The enhanced investment in Acolyte will allow rapid expansion of our services as we continue to bring new and improved architectural lighting products to market.”
To ensure uninterrupted service for partners and clients of each business, GENLED Brands and Principal Industries will continue to operate separately until the companies can confidently bring the teams together. There will be no immediate changes to distribution or product lines.
Principal Industries is a leading provider of electrical components and services in the commercial sign industry. The acquisition strengthens and diversifies Principal’s product portfolio in new and existing end markets while expanding its global footprint.
