First Light Technologies Ltd. Published on December 14, 2017 - A multi-use, 250 acre, park in Harris County used to be a ghost town after dark. After installing IPL Solar-Powered light fixtures, the park has experienced a significant increase in use during the evening/morning hours. The wire-free IPL Solar Light Fixtures illuminate the pathways, fitness areas, picnic shelters, skate park, and dog park. The fixtures were installed within two weeks and were chosen for their rugged construction, reliable performance, and low cost to install.

WINCHESTER, Va., Dec. 11, 2017 – SC Railing, the country’s leading manufacturer and supplier of custom architectural railings, has taken on a new – but renowned – name. Effective today, the company, recently acquired by Trex Company, has been renamed Trex Commercial Products. In addition to more closely aligning the subsidiary with its new corporate parent, the name change establishes Trex® as a major brand name in the commercial building arena.
“SC Railing has earned a reputation as the ‘go-to‘ railing supplier for commercial architects and specifiers,“ said James E. Cline, president and CEO of Trex Company. “From stadiums and large public works to universities and hospitals, SC Railing has been involved with many of the largest and most recognized commercial building projects in the country. We look forward to carrying on that legacy and to serving an even wider audience with Trex Commercial Products.“
For previous, current and potential customers of SC Railing, Cline emphasizes that the company name is the only thing that is changing. Trex Commercial Products will operate out of the existing SC Company facilities in Brooklyn Park, MN and Fort Mill, SC, and will continue to be managed by the same leadership team and sales network.
“All of the things that have made SC Railing a supplier of choice – our people, our products and our commitment to customer service – will remain unchanged,“ noted John Lewis, CEO of SC Company and now President and CEO of Trex Commercial Products. “If anything, these assets will become even stronger thanks to the tremendous resources now at our disposal as part of the Trex family.“
