First, the company has doubled its space. By taking on an additional building and knocking down some walls to provide room for additional inventory and to accommodate growing sales staff.
Company president, Marcel Fairbairn says: "We were literally busting at the seams to a point where not only were we short on desks, but we had nowhere for people to park! We are hoping this new location gets us through the next two years, however we're keeping an eye open for more space already."
The company has added some key people. Timm Stifter joins LED Source from Gear-Source, where he was a multi- tasking sales support manager for the past three years. He takes on the role of the growing sales support structure in LED Source, while also over-seeing some of the logistics that allows LED Source to get inventory in the hands of their customers when they need it.
Next, LED Source has filled the newly created role of retrofit sales director with the hiring of Eric Hansel. His background includes expertise in retrofit and energy efficient lighting technologies, most recently LED.
