MAITLAND, Fla., Aug. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SESCO Lighting is pleased to announce it is expanding its reach with the acquisition of the G2 Lighting Agency, based in Birmingham, AL. According to Todd Langner, President/CEO of SESCO Lighting, "Today more than ever, this acquisition helps support our growing sales efforts.

From a geographical standpoint, our now contiguous footprint bolsters our presence in both the greater Atlanta and Gulf Coast markets."  

It has been a goal of SESCO Lighting to expand into Alabama, and the buzz and excitement over the announced acquisition in the Birmingham market is something that is embraced by the growing SESCO Lighting team. Marshall Graham, SESCO's Chairman, says, "When looking at this acquisition, it quickly became apparent that Shannon Godwin and the team at G2 Lighting were an extraordinarily good fit for SESCO.  The fact that SESCO and G2 Lighting are both specification driven companies made Shannon's team the obvious choice."

I am very thankful to the outstanding manufacturers and staff who supported G2 Lighting Agency over the last several years.
