February 17, 2005 -- Howard Industries unveiled their new Lighting Products Division today with a formal announcement made during their group meeting at the annual NEMRA Conference in New
York. The new division will produce HID Luminaires for the Utility and I/C markets and will be promoted through the network of representative agencies across the US to electrical
distributors, lighting distributors, investor owned utilities, electrical cooperatives and municipalities.
"Howard Industries' new Lighting Products Division is a natural offshoot of the Ballast Products Division," stated Derral Ward, Howard Ballast Division's Vice President of Sales. "Now our
customers will be able to order both ballasts and luminaires on the same purchase order with confidence from their existing, trusted sales representatives - a key incentive for our
entering this segment of the lighting market."
Initial products will include Wall Packs, Floods, Vandal Canopy, Garage Lighters, Sports Lighters, High Bays, Low Bays, Dusk-to-Dawn, Temporary Construction Lights, and Portable Work
Lights with complimentary products being added at a later date.
