"We continue to reap the rewards of a six-year investment of time, energy and money in our Leecraft and Littelites lines and in our basic manufacturing, custom product design and support operations."

“Our multi-million dollar investments in automation, state-of-the-art systems for manufacturing, design, materials management, customer support and information processing gives LC&D a competitive edge in our market niche."

“Customers are excited by our response time of a few days or weeks, instead of several months – much faster than our competitors. Independent customer surveys and independent reviews of “competitive wins” have identified Lighting Components and Design's greatest competitive advantages to be:

• "Shortest custom product development cycle in the industry.
• "Fastest prototype delivery of custom designed products.
• "Broadest line of 'off the shelf' products available from any manufacturer in the world.
• "Consistent ability to rapidly ramp-up to even the most demanding production schedules.
• "Producing products with unique materials characteristics and packaging to suit even the most demanding and environmental conditions of vibration, motion, heat, cold, moisture, industrial chemicals, pollution, etc.
• "On-time delivery."Quality and reliability at 'world class' levels.

"This leap in sales is entirely due to the host of new products introduced in the past several months and is the fruition of our long term multi-million dollar investment in manufacturing technology.
"This investment strategy has enabled us to bring our customers new high technology products, shorten delivery schedules for existing products and move into new product and market areas.
