UK - After 32 years at the helm, Iain Price-Smith, MD of Multiform Lighting, has announced the company’s merger with Light Engineering of Walthamstow, London. As a founding member of PLASA, Multiform was one of the companies that pioneered the development of lighting effects controllers for clubs and rock bands from its early beginnings in the industry in 1970. Light Engineering have distributed the Multiform range for many years.

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.
