Adding links on both ends of the supply chain, LED lighting manufacturer Traxon Technologies recently developed its relationships with e:cue and Osram. Tony Carrella, president of Traxon Technologies and e:cue lighting control, took some time to discuss what this partnership means to the solid-state lighting community.

In October 2008, after several years of collaboration, Traxon, a manufacturer of LED-based lighting systems headquartered in Hong Kong, acquired e:cue, an independent lighting control company headquartered in Paderborn, Germany. At the end of 2008, Traxon further extended its global reach through a joint venture partnership with lighting giant Osram (www.ledsmagazine.com/news/5/12/15). Traxon, now officially known as “Traxon Technologies – An Osram Company” became a 51% Osram-owned subsidiary while retaining its independence, including its own board of directors.
