Affiliate Company Established in California

Expansion of Sales into U.S. Market

LECIP U.S.A. Inc. was newly established to promote the sales of neon transformers in the U.S. market. Previously, our transformers had been distributed in the U.S. for twenty years by an American company under a different brand name. The office has been located in Southern California with the aim of further expanding the share in the U.S. market of LECIP transformers.

In addition we are developing plans for the sale of vehicle fluorescent lamps from this affiliate. We aim to expand both sales as well as the number and type of units that we offer.
