Delta Acquires Amerlux to Enhance Its IoT-based Green Solutions

March 22, 2019

Delta Electronics, Inc. has signed an agreement to buy 100% of Amerlux, LLC, a U.S.-based LED architectural lighting solutions company. The $US 90 million transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2019.

Building automation has become a major focus for Delta’s long-term growth strategy, the company says. Acquiring Amerlux will present Delta customers with a broader portfolio of Delta IoT-enabled smart green solutions for sustainable buildings and cities, which already includes building automation, energy management, commercial and industrial LED lighting, surveillance, as well as indoor environmental quality systems.

“As a world-class corporate citizen committed to enabling energy conservation and lower carbon emissions for mankind, Delta continues to broaden its solutions portfolio to improve the energy efficiency, security and comfort of buildings and cities,” says Delta CEO Ping Cheng. “Lighting is an integral focus for Delta because, in the IoT era, it is an ample source of crucial data for the optimization of smart automation systems. Amerlux has a strong reputation in the field of architectural LED lighting, which we believe will enhance Delta’s profile as a total solutions provider.” 

Amerlux products have been certified in over 58 countries. Since the introduction of LEDs approximately 10 years ago, the technology has grown increasingly sophisticated. “he initial phase of LED marketing was simply the replacement of incandescent luminaries and focused primarily on energy savings,” notes Cheng. “The current phase of LED marketing focuses on the quality of the light produced by the LEDs. We are now entering the third phase of LED marketing, which involves controls of the luminaries, a technology in which Delta excels. The combination of Delta and Amerlux will accelerate the development of solutions for smart buildings and sustainable cities.”

In recent years, Delta has been enhancing its broad portfolio of smart green solutions to further the development of smart low-carbon buildings and cities. The acquisition of building automation system providers, Canadian-based Delta Controls and Austria-based LOYTEC, as well as the acquisition of a considerable stake in Taiwan-based surveillance systems provider Vivotek, Inc. are pillars of that strategy. Amerlux will complement Delta’s total offering in and around the building space.
