Falconer, N.Y.-based Truck-Lite Co., LLC, a creator of LED lighting innovations, has announced the acquisition of LED lighting manufacturer Rigid Industries of Phoenix, Ariz.

With this acquisition, Truck-Lite expands its offering of diverse lighting product lines.

According to Brian Kupchella, CEO of Truck-Lite, “Rigid Industries provides an ideal platform for Truck-Lite’s further expansion into the off road, power sport, agricultural, marine, industrial, and mining markets. It positions Rigid to grow as a major player in the LED lighting industry while maintaining its own distinct brand identity.”

Jason Christiansen, CEO of Rigid Industries, said, “We’re excited to join the Truck-Lite team. We look forward to partnering and combining our industry experience, and will continue to deliver the same high-quality products that have made Rigid the industry name it is today.”

Both Truck-Lite’s and Rigid Industries’s products are designed, engineered, or manufactured in the U.S. In 2013, Rigid added a second facility in Gilbert, Ariz., and now employs more than 250 associates. Total employment for the two companies is more than 2,400. With customers already in 40 countries, both Truck-Lite and Rigid Industries look to expand their presence in the U.S., Europe, Australia and New Zealand in 2015.

Truck-Lite has additional U.S. manufacturing facilities in Wellsboro, Coudersport, and McElhattan, Pa., and Saline, Mich. International facilities are located in Harlow and Birmingham, England; Puebla, Mexico; and Eisenach, Germany. Truck-Lite is a major producer of safety lighting, forward lighting, wiring harnesses, mirrors, turn signal switches, and safety accessories to the heavy-duty truck, trailer, and commercial vehicle industries.
