Los Angeles-based EcoSense
Lighting has announced that it has purchased the
assets of privately owned Journée Lighting, which is located in Westlake
Village, Calif. Journée was founded in 2005 by entrepreneur Clayton Alexander
and is known for its LED technology innovations at both the component and
system levels. The acquisition allows EcoSense to enter the downlight and tracklight
markets as it leverages Journée’s intellectual property (IP) for future research
and product development. “Journée’s
specifier-grade product portfolio is a great complement to our brand,” said
Mark Reynoso, CEO of EcoSense Lighting in a prepared statement. “Further, their
significant IP portfolio will enable us to expand our product offering in
interesting ways.”
Clayton Alexander, CEO of Journée Lighting, echoed the excitement surrounding the acquisition. “We are thrilled to partner with EcoSense and leverage their key strengths, including new technology development, manufacturing efficiencies and global sales expertise.” Going forward, the Journée Lighting name will cease to exist and details are still be worked out regarding merging of staff and facilities. All EcoSense product releases currently scheduled for market, will proceed as planned.
