Pace Industries Signs Supply Agreement With Lighting Science Group Diecaster Pace Industries, Fayette-
ville, Ark., has entered into a relation- ship to supply components to LED lighting maker Lighting Science Group Corp., Satellite Beach, Fla. According to a release issued by
Lighting Science Group, Pace In- dustries’ Harrison, Ark., division will supply the customer’s Florida manu- facturing facility with components for its residential, commercial and infra- structure product lines. Lighting Science Group said the “manufacturing alliance” is expected to
increase its manufacturing capacity and efficiency. The company said it recently has required a reduction in supply times for LED-product metal castings. “This is a perfect American manu-
facturing match,” said Zach Gibler, chief executive officer of Lighting Sci- ence Group. “The relationship will not only help increase our manufacturing capacity and efficiency, but it will also provide an opportunity to grow our U.S. workforce and increase sales.” In order to meet increasing demand for its products, Lighting Science Group
expects to expand its manufacturing capacity in the near future and tap Pace Industries for increased supply requirements of diecast components. “In an era where many manufactur-
ing jobs are being created overseas, this alliance will assist in creating jobs right here at home,” said Scott Bull, Pace Industries’ chief executive officer. Pace Industries, formerly known
as Leggett & Platt Aluminum Group, has 14 manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Mexico, including nine diecasting divisions.
