MEGAMAN®, which leads the way in energy-efficient lighting, is pleased to
announce the success of its Latin American operations, with sales in the first
quarter of 2012 equaling those for the whole of 2011.
Fred Bass, Managing Director of Neonlite International Ltd, the brand owners
of MEGAMAN®, commented: "We took the step of opening an office in
Bogota, Colombia at the beginning of 2011 and also introduced local assembly and
the testing of products. Headed up Esteban Tapias, Gerente General, Neonlite
Americas SAS, the move into Latin America has proved highly successful, with
sales for the first quarter of 2012 equaling those for the whole of 2011.
"South America seems to have been less impacted by the global economic
slowdown than Europe, or the US and the up and coming World Cup and Olympics and
the proliferation of Western style retail outlets, now make it a prime market
for us. With Argentina already banning the incandescent lamp and commercial
interior design across Latin America harnessing the economic and environmental
power of LEDs, we are experiencing significant growth throughout the region."
"As in Europe, the long-term financial and environmental benefits of LEDs are
creating real interest amongst specifiers, installers and end users alike and
our work for the rest of 2012 is focused around demonstrating the full range of
capabilities of LED lamp technology to these audiences. Our MEGAMAN® LED AR111
range, which has a similar footprint to the halogen AR111, is proving very
popular, as is the company's LED Classic range of energy efficient lamp
solutions."
