GENLED Brands names Fosnow Southeast Regional Sales Manager

Jerry Fosnow has been named GENLED Brands Southeast Regional Sales Manager, handling custom architectural sales for Acolyte and signage lighting sales for AgiLight across the region.

Fosnow, a 16-year veteran of the lighting industry, joined Acolyte in 2012, directing sales across the South. Based in DeLand, Fla., the affable lighting pro is a true road warrior, traversing his territory from Texas and Oklahoma to the East Coast in a 45-ft bus.   

“Jerry is one of the shining stars of our team, always going the extra mile to put our customers first,” said Scott Vontobel, president & CEO of GENLED Brands. “As we restructure and grow our global sales force, we know we can count on people like Jerry to help our clients on both sides of the business. 

“This is the first of several strategic sales moves since surpassing the competition with AgiLight’s new 12V and 24V Lyte Series modules,” Vontobel said. “We are extremely excited to finally get in front of our customers with our latest round of signage modules that complement our 12V ULTRA Series, 24V PRO Premium Series and our soon-to-be-launched wet-rated European power supplies.” 

“I’m thrilled for the opportunity to fully embrace both of these great brands,” Fosnow said. “My current customers know all about Acolyte’s quality and dedication to customer service. What they are finding out is that AgiLight is truly one of the world’s best providers of premium LED signage lighting. So many name-brands can’t be wrong!” 

The transition comes as GENLED Brands finds increasing demand for crossover projects, such as the new Mitsubishi dealership facades being installed across the country. Mitsubishi’s new look features AgiLight ULTRA 450 and ULTRA 650 Color signage modules as well as custom WH35 channel fixtures built with milky lenses and IP68 Static White Series 2 RibbonLyte in 6000K from Acolyte. 

Factory ownership and in-house engineering teams on multiple continents give GENLED Brands unique custom capabilities. We routinely design complete custom Acolyte fixtures, adjusting beam angles, CCTs, wattages and lumen levels to specification, while engineering AgiLight modules for brand-specific colors or LEED-level efficacy.  

Coming soon: New European HQ

Rapid growth has forced the company to relocate its European headquarters. GENLED Brands will move into new state-of-the-art facilities in Amsterdam this fall, adding offices, a development and testing section with clean rooms for SMT circuit board machines, encapsulation treatments and photometrics testing, and extra operations space for stock, assembly and shipping.
