Bill Brown Sales Augments Lighting Product Line with Envisionlight Design Engineering Services

(Niles, IL) - Bill Brown Sales, a leading national sales agency in the lighting components industry, announces that it will market the services of Envisionlight, a Wilmington, NC-based engineering technology and design company, to the US lighting OEM.

Under the direction of Founder and President Mark Wedell, who himself has 20 patents currently on file, Envisionlight offers a broad spectrum of turn-key product development services and expertise in manufacturing strategy. In turn, these R&D services allow manufacturers to truly optimize the thousands of component product offerings available through Bill Brown Sales.

"We want to be a resource to our customers," says Dallas Buchanan, Vice President of Marketing and Sales, Bill Brown Sales. "With this complement of products and services we can help them introduce new technologies, enter new market segments, get to market earlier with product improvements, and enhance their in-house engineering capabilities," Buchanan adds.

The 14-member Envisionlight technical team averages 20 years of experience and brings unparalleled expertise in such areas as LED, HID, fluorescent, and incandescent/halogen products for commercial, architectural and consumer applications. Past clients include Genlyte Group, Hella, John Deere and United Technologies.

"Given the cyclical nature of the business, manufacturers often struggle to match engineering resources with demand," Envisionlight's Wedell observes. "With us, they don't have to make a commitment to hire employees, but they can still remain competitive or increase market share."

Bill Brown Sales has been representing leading component manufacturers since 1955, including: A.L.P. Lighting Components, Inc., Triboro wiring devices, Adam Metal Products, Arakawa Hanging Systems, Reflek Alzak reflectors, Robertson Worldwide ballasts, Steel Craft Fluorescent Co., Tripar downlight housings, and Wiremaid Lite Guards™.
