Folene, a graduate of Adelphi University and most recently the inside sales manager for Strand Lighting's New York representative, will join Pete Borchetta (North East regional manager) and Bobby Harrell (lighting designer and controls specialist) in the new facility.
The Strand Lighting NYC office is located at: Fourth Floor, 267 5th Ave, New York, NY 10016. Telephone: +1 212-213-8219. Fax: + 1 212-532-2843.
The new office will feature a training area and a collection of equipment for hands on use of its products. Pete Borchetta comments: "I am excited to be in our new location and to be sharing an office with another Philips company Color Kinetics. This is a positive step for Strand Lighting and further enhances our support for the production and design community in New York."
"Given our recent success on Broadway and in New York City in general, increasing our commitment and presence here is a natural extension of our worldwide operations", commented Tom Folsom, general manager of Strand Lighting.
