A maker of lighting solutions in the region has acquired a West Coast “lifestyle and functional accessory” brand.
Grand Haven-based LightCorp said Jan. 27 it has acquired Stockton, California-based Most Modest.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The acquisition is part of LightCorp’s new strategic vision to create “holistically connected commercial and residential environments through interior power distribution, lighting and functional accessories,” according to Marc Langeland, president, LightCorp.
“LightCorp’s acquisition of Most Modest provides a major growth opportunity to cross over from the contract office environment into residential and direct-to-consumer markets with lighting and technology solutions,” Langeland said.
Most Modest Founder Justin Champaign will continue to design for the Most Modest brand and support LightCorp with new product opportunities.
He said the two companies “perfectly” complement one another.
“LightCorp’s domestic manufacturing of electronics and fixtures combined with (its) unique ability to support high customization pairs perfectly with the Most Modest brand and provides designers with a distinct advantage when bringing products to market,” he said.
LightCorp
Founded in 1986, LightCorp manufactures lighting solutions for top-tier original equipment (OEM) customers in the contract office industry.
