The RJ USA Wallingford office will remain operational through the end of the year, but A.C.T Lighting will manage all sales and customer service issues going forward. RJ USA's Fred Lindauer and Pete Engel will join the A.C.T Lighting sales group and the entire team will work together to provide a smooth and seamless transition.
Founded in 1993, A.C.T Lighting is a leading distributor of entertainment lighting equipment used in the concert touring, theatrical, and architectural industries.
"We are very proud to add Robert Juliat lighting products to A.C.T roster," says A.C.T Lighting chairman Bob Gordon. "Robert Juliat has long been a leader in the field and has established an excellent reputation for top-quality lighting fixtures based around superb optics and ergonomic design." Robert Juliat is approaching its centenary: it was founded in 1919 and is still 100% family owned.
"We feel this agreement is a logical way to provide a future growth for Robert Juliat in the US. A.C.T Lighting is well positioned in the American market to bring added value for both the customers and Robert Juliat," explains Robert Juliat's managing director, François Juliat.
