W.A.C. Lighting Hosts Grand Opening Of Its Chinese Facility
11.22.07 | DongGuan,
China | After three years of planning and development, W.A.C. Lighting hosted
the Grand Opening of its state-of-the-art, Global Manufacturing Facilities and
Campus in QingXi, DongGuan, China on Saturday, November 3rd. The opening of this company-owned
facility marks the firm’s major expansion from a smaller factory and celebrates
10 years of manufacturing its product line abroad. W.A.C. Lighting, a leading
designer and manufacturer of track, recessed, undercabinet, decorative and
monorail lighting, hosted the day’s events with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
attended by local officials and dignitaries, a Celebration Parade, Luncheon
Reception, and a Celebratory Dinner.
CEO/Founder Tony Wang proclaimed, “People are the essence of our company. Each individual needs to recognize this culture, respecting, caring and cooperating with each other. My lifetime goal is to provide an opportunity for everyone associated with W.A.C. Lighting to be successful as we strive to be a leader in the industry. Aiming high as a global leader is not necessarily defined as a company generating the highest revenue, but instead, a firm that prides itself on developing the most innovative designs and advanced technology.
“Our mission is also to design and produce energy saving products,” continued Mr. Wang. “We have made a tremendous investment to protect our environment, and it is our responsibility to pass on a clean world to the next generations. Minimizing impact on the environment is the ultimate realm for any manufacturing entity to achieve. This is true to us as a company and as individuals.”
The new facility encompasses over 750,000 square feet and will employ 2500 person at full capacity. It includes several buildings for manufacturing and distribution, as well as a modern office building for administration, research and development, testing and more. The latest technologies will be employed in the production and assembly of the complete W.A.C. Lighting and W2 Architectural Lighting product lines.
W.A.C. Lighting crafts people create precision components utilizing a broad range of processes. High-tech CNS machines produce tooling and molds to manufacture die-cast aluminum fixtures, extruded metal and plastic components. CNC lathe and metal punching, moldmaking, metal-spinning, metal press-cutting, bending and punching are all performed to create high quality fixtures and reflectors. Lead-free automated powdercoating and SMT electronic production are also performed on the premises.
A Lighting Application, Showroom/Training Center, covering over 20,000 feet, will display and demonstrate the firm’s complete product line. A state-of-the-art Product Testing Center offers a full range of tests to meet stringent UL-certified quality standards for endurance, durability, reliability, temperature, electrical componentry, lamp and luminaire performance, and mechanical safety. Labs are being built to test applications and photometrics.
The firm’s recycling system collects and re-uses water for landscaping and powering machinery; solar panels are being installed for heating water and providing warmth; scrap metals are recycled; and other environmental conservation methods are being implemented.
Eight loading docks are available for shipping and receiving containers.
The Campus also includes a regulation size Soccer Field, Swimming Pool and four Basketball Courts.
