This collaboration, which took effect in mid-October 2024, aims to bolster GRE Alpha's distribution network for LED drivers and lighting control solutions across the Mid-Central, Southeastern, and Northeastern United States.

The partnership is poised to bring substantial benefits to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in the lighting industry. By leveraging e-Components' extensive experience in LED drivers and complementary components, GRE Alpha will be able to provide enhanced support to its customers. This strategic alliance will deliver comprehensive access to GRE Alpha's complete product portfolio, including LED drivers, dimming modules, and custom turnkey manufacturing solutions.

Richard Araujo, North America Business Development Manager at GRE Alpha, expressed optimism about the partnership, highlighting the importance of working with manufacturer's representatives who possess extensive knowledge of the LED lighting industry. The collaboration with e-Components aligns with GRE Alpha's strategy of partnering with teams that understand the marketplace and the needs of buyers and sellers within the industry.

Steve O'Neill, President of FSE/e-Components, emphasized the significance of adding GRE Alpha to their world-class linecard, which already includes renowned brands such as 3M, Kyocera-AVX, Lumileds, Bourns, Omron, Lexar Enterprise, and Bosch Sensortec. This addition further strengthens e-Components' position in the OEM lighting market, where they have established themselves as a trusted partner for some of the best fixture and industrial solutions customers in the U.S.

The partnership is particularly noteworthy given e-Components' proven track record in product development, agency validation, and manufacturing support.
