LMPG Inc. acquires Architectural Lighting Works (ALW)

LMPG continues its growth and deepens its offerings in the architectural interior lighting market

Montreal, QC, February 16, 2023 – LMPG Inc., a leading specification-grade LED lighting solutions group, announced today that it has acquired one hundred percent of Architectural Lighting Works (ALW), a privately-owned, innovative architectural LED lighting solutions provider, from Prairie Capital.

Founded in 2005, ALW is renowned for their diverse selection of linear, decorative, and cylinder products, their unparalleled performance, and a client-centric approach. Their strong presence in the commercial, institutional, corporate, and health care environments in North America is due to their innovative products and because they are known to be one of “the easiest to do business with,” as supported by multiple customer service initiatives, including their popular “Voice of the Customer” surveys. Both ALW’s offices in Oakland, California, and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Ensenada, Mexico, are part of LMPG’s acquisition.

“ALW is at the unique junction of artistic design and seamless architectural integration, while delivering best in class performance. It is a privilege to welcome Jeff Croskey with his talented management team and the more than 400 dedicated employees that are making ALW such a great brand. Their core values, unique customer centric focus, and passion for light are making ALW a natural fit as part of the LMPG family,” said François-Xavier Souvay, Founder, President, and CEO of LMPG Inc.

ALW will continue to be managed as an independent business entity and will benefit from LMPG’s innovative technologies, its supply chain capabilities, and operational strategies. Jeff Croskey, who has been with ALW since April 2019, will remain in his current role as CEO.

“Joining the LMPG family is a major milestone for ALW and represents the successful execution of our strategy to build an incredible architectural lighting team and brand. This is a fantastic fit and opportunity to leverage the expertise of the entire LMPG organization. I want to acknowledge and thank our team at Prairie Capital for their tremendous support over the past six years, as they have been instrumental in ALW’s success. François-Xavier and LMPG share and support ALW’s focus on product innovation and customer commitment. Most importantly, we share the same company culture and values. I look forward to the next chapter in the ALW story,” said Jeff Croskey, CEO of ALW.

With the addition of ALW, LPMG Inc. now consists of eight strong lighting solutions brands, establishing its leading position in a wide range of specification-grade lighting applications.
