"Tom is uniquely qualified for this position. His diverse background and experience as well as his understanding of the entrepreneurial nature of this business make him an excellent choice for this key position," said Carson.
"We have been working quickly since our acquisition of Strand to create the right mix of products and services for the market the past two years. Strand is now positioned to move and establish its position as a world leader in lighting controls. With our recent partnership with Philips, our growth in the controls market is even more important to the overall strategy of the company. I look forward to working with Tom as we grow the business," Carson concluded.
Folsom himself commented: "I am honoured to have been given this opportunity. I began my career after graduate school 30 years ago working for Strand Century. The company is in great shape and ready to move forward. I look forward to working with the staff and our agents all over the world as we strive to bring Strand Lighting's technology and services to the industry."
