Industry Comments on the Signify-Cooper Deal

Adam Lilien, Global Lighting Business Development Manager, Underwriters Laboratories:  “The question is why.  If Signify purchased Cooper Lighting for talent acquisition, it is a good thing. If they are purchasing the minds that they think will help them get to the next level as the industry transforms, then it was a very smart move.”

 

Jay Goodman, VP Strategy, healthe, a division of Lighting Science:  “Serious Industry Shakeup.”

Chris Brown,  CEO, Nextgen Lighting:   It raises lots of questions.  Is this illumigeddon?!? Who is the winner? What is the message to manufacturers, reps and distributors?  What will the union look like in a few years?
