ELA + Synergy partnership expansion

Effective July 19, 2024, ELA + Synergy will expand their partnership with FC Lighting and SSL Lighting into Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, Delaware, and Northern New Jersey.

Additionally, ELA + Synergy will now represent Paramount Lighting across all markets. 

This expansion aligns with ELA + Synergy’s strategic initiatives to deliver high-quality, innovative lighting solutions and broaden its market presence. “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with the Bukas Group as they are the total package of what we look for in a partner,” said Brian Labbe, Principal of ELA + Synergy. “They have exceptional people, product and service which allows us to continue to perform for our clients” 

“We are very excited to announce our expanded partnership with ELA + Synergy across NY, NJ, and Philadelphia,” said Michael Lauria, President of FC Lighting, SSL, and Paramount Lighting. “The investments we have made across all three brands have enabled sustained results, supported planned growth, and are a launchpad for what we seek to achieve with this new partnership in these key territories.” 

Highlighting the benefits of an augmented relationship with the ELA + Synergy team, Hayden Bukas, Director of Sales & Customer Experience, commented, “We have been fortunate to partner on multiple high-profile projects that are a win for all parties—from design to distribution, to installation, to the end user’s expectations and budgets. We share a common goal of being committed to excellence through our professional approach and dedicated support of doing the right thing.”
