GM Lighting Announces Canadian Center of Operations: GM Lighting Canada

New Canadian Headquarters Strengthens Access, Distribution and Support for Canadian Customers

Tinley Park, Illinois –  GM Lighting today announced the launch of GM Lighting Canada, a dedicated Canadian center of operations designed to expand distribution, strengthen local support, and increase product availability for commercial, residential, and architectural lighting professionals throughout Canada.

The new GM Lighting Canada facility will provide faster shipping, improved technical service, and market-specific support that reflects GM Lighting’s rapidly expanding presence in the North American lighting industry, announced GM President Ashley Gloster. A Canadian himself, Ashley’s Canadian origins were a crucial element in understanding the potential of the Canadian market.

“For over a decade we have been doing business with Canada, and establishing GM Lighting Canada is a dream come true for this Canadian-American”, Ashley enthused, “Our relationships with Canadian reps, distributors, lighting designers and electrical contractors have been forged for over a decade. We owe them our presence – not only in the marketplace but physically, here in Canada”.

GM Vice-President of Sales Joe Damiani added “We are excited to announce this opening. GM Lighting Canada will enable us to better support and grow our business with our Canadian partners. With local inventory, Canadian pricing, and GM’s “service comes first” mentality, I’m confident in the opportunities this initiative will bring to our organization.” Joe added, “Combined with the strength of our rep partners, we are ready to pursue the growth opportunities that have been consistently knocking on our door in this market.”

Ashley agreed. “Legendary customer service and in-stock quick shipping is now firmly planted on Canadian terra-firma. With this attitude, we hit the ground running – and to me, it feels like home.”

GM Lighting is a U.S. based lighting manufacturer that has carved out a commanding role in the LED linear space and has recently added Irradiar Landscape Lighting as its entry into the highly competitive outdoor lighting arena with its family of “specification quality” path, hardscape, spot/flood and underwater lighting fixtures along with power, mounting and beam-spread accessories.
