Dear Valued Partner,
The recession of 2008/2009 has not passed us without effect. You probably have noticed we have been experiencing a fair share of changes in 2009 !
As part of the further integration of the previous Lighting Partners organization into the Lighting Science Group Corporation we had to change our organization.
Despite these internal changes we have also carefully engaged new colleagues we would like to introduce.
Mr. Christophe Balp based in Paris, started working as our Business Development Manager for France.
Further, Mr. Erik Neelen based in Goes, has been engaged as our Commercial Director for Europe.
From 01 December onwards we have a new Financial Director Mrs. Mairi Paterson replacing Mr. Sijbrand Honkoop.
Mairi will also supervise the Customer Service Department after the recent departure of Jan-Willem Schlösser.
Due to the changes it is fair to say that we have lost some expertise that had to be built-up and tasks had to be re-aligned. We are fully aware this has occasionally influenced our service level towards you.
Nevertheless we have been working hard in the 2nd half of this year in preparing new products and making ourselves a valuable partner for your business.
In this respect we like to inform you of the following new products that have been launched in the European market:
- Our Infrastructure portfolio consisting of the Roadway Streetlighting range and the Low Bay – Wall pack and Shoebox products;
- An Indoor spot range with CREE Module – Turbine and Mythos and Nissi products;
- Our New MR16 Replacement products MR 16 GU 5,3 Dimmable and MR 16 GU 10;
- A new generation of Eyeleds Outdoor and a new series of task and accent lighting products.
These products are now available for ordering and our sales team will be happy to take your orders !
In order to fully prepare ourselves for a dynamic 2010 we will be closed in Goes from December 25th (24th still open for business) and start working again on January 4th 2010 !
We are looking forward to a year of growth and improve our position in the European market together with you our much appreciated customers and suppliers !
We wish you, your team and family a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year 2010
Yours Sincerely,
Peter Harteveld and Team
Lighting Science Group BV
