SLP – Scientific Lighting Products
Paracube Louvers and Acrylic Lenses
SLP has been serving the lighting industry for almost 40 years, the first lighting company to have both injection molding and metalizing under one roof to ensure proper quality throughout the entire process.
History
In 1969, Scientific Lighting Products (SLP) was born when Koller Enterprises Inc. bought the plastic louver business of MSL Industries. SLP started with three different louvers and based on customer needs has expanded and refined the offering to a total of 10 plastic louver styles, metal louvers and weatherproof enclosures over the past 36 years.
Early on, the metalized plastic louvers were produced under contract by a molder in Massachusetts. In order to control quality and costs, in 1978, SLP decided to bring the molding and metalizing in-house. A facility was built and deal was struck with the Massachusetts contractor to buy their metalizing equipment and expertise. Over the next 27 years additional metalizing and painting equipment was purchased and two major additions were built to keep up with the ever growing demands of our customers.
Knowing that the US represented only 20% of the world lighting marketing in the early ’90s, SLP decided to go international. A key part was played in 1994 when SLP UK was formed as a subsidiary in England. This allowed SLP to gain a solid foothold in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India and the Eastern Block while the US expanded into Southeast Asia, Australia, Central and South America to become a major player in the Global market.
Today SLP shows all over the world: Light + Building in Frankfurt, India Light Fair in Delhi, Middle East Show in Dubai, Indonesian Power in Jakarta, Lightfair USA in New York/Las Vegas and Intex Show in the USA.
