ilumisys, Inc. (Troy, MI), a manufacturer LED replacement lamps, and parent company Altair Engineering, have entered into cooperative partnership agreement with LEDdynamics, Inc (Randolph, VT), a full-service engineering firm and producer of LED replacement bulbs and fixtures as well as power management and control solutions.

The partnership includes a license for Altair’s patents on LED fluorescent tube replacements. “This partnership offers a unique opportunity for both LEDdynamics and ilumisys to expand US manufacturing operations and leverage our combined engineering capabilities,” said William McGrath, president and CTO of LEDdynamics.

He added, “We believe that this partnership will result in increased market share, and strengthen the ability of both companies to develop and manufacture the most innovative, high quality LED products and technologies available.”
