Energy Focus, Inc. Finalizes Full-Service Contract With Great Lakes Cold Storage

Energy Focus, Inc., the global leader in energy-efficient lighting technologies, announced today that the company has finalized a multi-phase contract with Great Lakes Cold Storage, a regional refrigerated foods company. The contract — the first to be finalized under Energy Focus’s new full-service energy solutions program — includes design, manufacturing, engineering, and installation and support services. The project incorporates Energy Focus’s advanced LED and HID lighting energy solutions including EFO® illuminators, system controls and advanced dimmable high intensity discharge lighting technologies.

Great Lakes Cold Storage provides storage and distribution for supermarket, food service, industrial, seasonal pick, commodities and ingredients. With multiple facilities, Great Lakes Cold Storage has 8.6 million cubic feet of modern freezer/refrigerated space for frozen and refrigerated warehousing and distribution needs.

“Cold storage facilities require unique lighting solutions as the technology must operate at temperatures below 40 degrees C,” said Joe Kaveski, CEO of Energy Focus, Inc. “High output fluorescents and other traditional lighting systems do not operate well at these temperatures. We offer a complete lighting solution that offers both energy savings as well as a better, safer lighting environment in very low temperature situations.”

Eric Hilliard, COO of Energy Focus, Inc., added, “Our relationship with Great Lakes clearly validates our full-service energy solutions strategy. Our customers are looking for comprehensive lighting solutions and Energy Focus offers a clear competitive advantage, both in our technology and in our ability to develop the best lighting energy solution available.”

Energy Focus, Inc. is the leading supplier of energy solutions and the world’s only supplier of EFO®, a lighting technology that is more efficient than conventional electric lamps. Energy Focus products are designed, manufactured and marketed for the commercial lighting, sign and swimming pool, and spa markets. Energy Focus solutions provides energy savings, aesthetic, safety and maintenance cost benefits over conventional lighting.
