Description
Two vertical and complementary operators in adjacent stages of commercial lighting. A rare opportunity to acquire two profitable commercial lighting businesses offered together as a single, synergistic platform. Clients include world‑renowned museums, top‑tier airports, flagship skyscrapers, and leading luxury hotel brands.
The first business (Company A) is a lighting distributor and installer in one of the most commercially demanding markets, specializing in large-format turnkey lighting and control upgrades, high-efficiency retrofits, and compliance-driven modernization projects. Its lean business model produces exceptionally strong margins and directly benefits from growing government regulation on energy codes and corporate ESG mandates. Significant growth remains untapped, as the current owner regularly declines new work due to limited bandwidth.
The second business (Company B) is a stable commercial lighting controls company sought after for their team of highly specialized technicians in lighting controls integration with a nationwide reach. 100% of the products that Company A buys are purchased from Company B. Owner is open to a full exit or staying on.
Together, they form a full-stack lighting modernization platform that buyers increasingly seek, capable of delivering: Audit → Design → Procurement → Installation → Controls → Optimization. Both companies carry an extensive client list, including one of the world's largest and most iconic museums, The Met, one of the most globally recognized commercial buildings, The Empire State Building, and a large portfolio of luxury hospitality brands, including The Ritz-Carlton.
Per buyers discretion, the two companies can remain operationally independent while delivering immediate synergy, making integration optional and low-risk.
