MaxLite Adds LED Outdoor Lighting to Product Assembly Facility in West Caldwell, NJ


West Caldwell, New Jersey – Continuing to create new jobs and expand its domestic production capabilities, MaxLite® adds a variety of LED outdoor lighting fixtures to its U.S. assembly line lineup while meeting the requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). MaxLite, a leading marketer and manufacturer of energy efficient lamps and lighting fixtures, will produce nearly 30 percent of its outdoor line at the New Jersey headquarters, including full cutoff and standard LED wall packs (standard with photocell sensors), LED canopy fixtures, and LED large flood and area lights for garage, gas station, parking garage and other commercial outdoor applications.



“We will continue to expand our assembly operations to assemble LED products that meet the increased variety and demand of our customers,” said MaxLite’s Global Operations Manager Zenny Haczyk. “Adding these outdoor fixtures to our assembly facility will allow for rapid inventory changes and better management of customer orders with tight project lead times.”



Haczyk oversees the assembly staff and works closely with quality control, shipping and other departments. Opened in autumn last year, the assembly facility in the New Jersey corporate headquarters has produced ECO-T™ LED Recessed Troffers, FlatMAX™ LED Flat Panels and Linear Fluorescent Fixtures and will create the following MaxLED® outdoor lighting fixtures:

About the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)

On Feb. 13, 2009, Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 at the urging of President Obama, who signed it into law four days later. A direct response to the economic crisis, the Recovery Act has three immediate goals: create new jobs and save existing ones; spur economic activity and invest in long-term growth; and foster unprecedented levels of accountability and transparency in government spending. The Recovery Act intended to achieve those goals by providing $787 billion in tax cuts and benefits for millions of working families and businesses, funding for entitlement programs such as unemployment benefits, and funding for federal contracts, grants and loans.
