Transformer/Power Supply Manufacturing Leader Reaches Milestone BRIDGEPORT, CONN. ---Q-Tran, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality, power supply systems, transformers and components for low voltage lighting, has announced that the firm is celebrating its 15th Anniversary this year. John Tremaine, an accomplished lighting designer born into a family of lighting entrepreneurs and innovators, founded Q-Tran in 1993. He began his career with The Miller Company, a firm acquired in the 1930's by his great grandfather, Burton Sr., who established the National Electric Lamp Association (NELA). In the early 1920's NELA became General Electric's lamp division in Cleveland, Ohio. NELA, the first corporate campus in the nation, was later transformed into a prestigious research institute that is still thriving today. The Miller Company, a lighting company specializing in fixtures used for commercial, industrial and institutional applications, was later sold to John's grandfather, Burton, Jr., who eventually sold it to John's father, Burton, III. The business was eventually sold again in the 1980's, but it is where John cut his teeth in the lighting business. John started his own lighting design practice in 1980, and in 1985, opened Primo, a high-tech lighting showroom based in South Norwalk, Connecticut that offered a creative alternative to functional lighting. He began working with low voltage lighting and discovered flaws in the way power was fed to low voltage fixtures. Determined to resolve those challenges inherent in power supplies available at the time, John established Q-Tran in the basement of his showroom. He began to design and engineer a series of flexible remote transformers that eliminated noise and heat while enhancing the quality of light output. The company pioneered innovative transformers that offered a high level of safety, reliability, performance and convenience for users of low voltage lighting, in both residential and commercial installations. Over the years, Gean Tremaine, VP of Sales and Marketing, and Jordan Nodelman, VP of Operations, would take their place by their father's side, helping to build Q-Tran's product line and presence throughout the industry.
Operating with its mantra "EnlightenedThinking®," Q-Tran was the first company to develop an entire power supply center designed specifically for low voltage lighting. Today Q-Tran has evolved into a leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality power supply systems, transformers and components, supplying its growing product line to distributors and designers across North America.
