Under the partnership, the existing product range will be manufactured at new premises in Basildon, with sales handled by the Light Engineering sales team. Iain Price-Smith has moved his consultancy and design organization to Hailsham and will continue to operate as Multiform Technology, providing technical support to Light Engineering. New Multiform Lighting products are under development, and are planned for release at PLASA 2003.
Commenting on the merger, Light Engineering’s Cliff Wilding told us: This is great news as it gives us a very complete range - everything from lamps to dimmer packs. I have known Iain for many years and have always had great respect for the legendary build quality of Multiform equipment. I feel sure this will be a very productive partnership."
Multiform Technology will continue to handle sales of Meteor, Sagitter and FFT products from its new offices in Hailsham, in addition to design and consultancy services.
