Q-Tran Receives
"ARCHITECT'S CHOICE FOR EXCELLENCE" FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, PRODUCT DURABILITY, VALUE, AND DESIGN
BRIDGEPORT, CONN. ---Q-TRAN Founder and CEO John Tremaine announced that the firm has received the ACE (Architect's Choice For Excellence) Award from Architectural Lighting Magazine. Architectural Lighting covers the techniques and technology of quality architectural lighting design and is distributed to 25,000 leading lighting designers, architects, interior designers, engineers and specifiers. Q-TRAN is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality, power supply systems, transformers and components for low voltage lighting systems.
"Receiving the ACE Award for Outstanding Product Durability, Exceptional Customer Service, Superior Value and Innovative Design is very fulfilling," explains Mr. Tremaine. "This award is a credit to all of our employees and distributors, as well as the architects, designers and lighting professionals that specify Q-TRAN transformers and power supply centers."
Gean Tremaine, VP of Sales and Marketing, explains, "We understand the need to reinvent the operation of low voltage lighting power supplies, transformers and systems, by designing innovative products that meet all of lighting industry's needs, from the Architect or lighting designer, to the installer and maintenance personnel. We listen to the marketplace's needs, evaluate available products, and develop better ways of powering lighting systems. Clumsy product design is irresponsible; we feel that each and every product should meet the needs of all of its audiences.
Extraordinary attention to detail throughout the design and engineering phases has resulted in Q-Tran systems that are built for both long endurance and high performance. Our products are built-to-last. Many times, upon a project's completion, designers will confess that they are amazed that our products-which are much more technically oriented than most of the others specified- 'were the only products that were TROUBLE-FREE during the installation.'"
The ACE Architectural Lighting Awards Program has become a mark of distinction and dependability in the architectural and lighting design communities. Architectural Lighting magazine readers were asked to vote for the top manufacturers that have demonstrated superior products and services in the categories of: customer service, durability, value and design
About Q-Tran, Inc.
In 1993, Q-Tran, Inc. was founded by John Tremaine, an accomplished lighting designer who was born into a family of lighting entrepreneurs and innovators. He began his career with The Miller Company, a firm acquired in the 1930's by his great grandfather, who founded the National Electric Lamp Association (NELA) before selling it to John's grandfather. In the early 1920's NELA became General Electric's lamp division in Cleveland, Ohio, and 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 sold to John's grandfather, Burton, Jr., who sold it to John's father, Burton, III, and it is where John cut his teeth before starting a lighting design practice in 1980. In 1985 John opened Primo, a high-tech lighting showroom based in South Norwalk, Connecticut, that offered a creative alternative to functional lighting and eventually gave birth to Q-Tran.
Q-Tran was established to fulfill a need in the lighting industry for flexible remote transformers that eliminate noise and heat while enhancing the quality of light output. Operating with the mantra "EnlightenedThinking®," Q-Tran has pioneered innovative transformers and power supply centers to provide safety, reliability, performance and convenience. It was the first company to develop an entire power supply center designed specifically for low voltage lighting.
Over the years, Gean Tremaine, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, and Jordan Nodelman, Vice President of Operations, would take their place by their father's side, helping to build Q-Tran's product line and presence throughout the industry. Today Q-Tran is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality, power supply systems, transformers and components.
