Ex-Or has today announced its acquisition by Honeywell. The company, which develops, manufactures and distributes intelligent, energy-saving lighting controls, will become part of Honeywell's Environmental Controls and Combustion (ECC) business unit, itself a division of Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions (ACS). Ex-Or will, however, retain its brand and continue to trade as Ex-Or.
Commenting on the acquisition Neil Jones, Ex-Or managing director, said: “With Honeywell's backing, Ex-Or will flourish. Honeywell is committed to accelerating growth and extending our global reach. We'll be able to dramatically expand and enhance our offerings to better serve our existing and new customers.”
“By joining forces with Ex-Or, Honeywell gains a competence in lighting controls to better serve both Ex-Or and Honeywell customers,” said Andreas Kramvis, Honeywell ECC president.
“I've been extremely impressed with Ex-Or's proven technology and talent. It has developed an extensive range of intelligent lighting controls that save energy, create ease-of-use through remote control and wireless programming, and automation through sophisticated sensing technology.”
The company's product range includes managed lighting systems that combine energy efficiency with presence detection technology, and is used in the public and private sector, enhancing the work environment reducing energy bills. Ex-Or also produces quick connection systems, emergency lighting systems, and scene- setting and dimming systems.
