Vertically Integrated Manufacturing

Everything under one roof. From raw material to finished fixture, every step of the manufacturing process happens at our 100,000 sq. ft. facility in Central Islip, New York.

Our Central Islip facility houses injection molding presses, CNC tooling equipment, LED assembly lines, optical testing stations, and a dedicated R&D lab — all operated by the same team that designs the fixtures. When a customer needs a custom solution, our engineers walk to the production floor, prototype the design, test it on-site, and begin production without ever leaving the building. No outsourcing. No overseas dependencies. No supply chain variables outside our control.
