Green Garage Associates Announces LED Lighting Joint Venture

Nov. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- Green Garage Associates is pleased to announce the beginning of their joint venture, Green Garage Lighting, with both LED Saving Solutions and Stouch Lighting.  This joint venture is to provide lighting retrofit projects for parking garages. They will utilize LED products and lighting systems manufactured by LED Saving Solutions, the sister company of GREENandSAVE, and distributed and installed by Stouch Lighting for parking garages throughout the United States.

After months of extensive research on LED lighting products, companies, and the industry; Green Garage Associates signed a joint venture operating agreement with Stouch Lighting, the LED lighting distributor and LED Saving Solutions, the LED manufacturer; to retrofit parking garages with an innovative LED tube parking garage fixture. The high quality LED fixture will generate immense energy savings, will provide better lighting quality for security, have a longer lifetime, and is a product made in the United States with the ‘best of breed’ domestic and international components.

The parking garage lighting retrofit projects will begin in November of 2010.  All three companies came together to form the joint venture in order to focus on providing the parking industry with a one stop shop of LED lighting, installation, and financing, while at the same time providing a holistic look at the garage from a sustainability perspective.

“Stouch Lighting provides an unmatched installation network of licensed electricians across the United States.  This installation network, combined with the best in class quality LED Light that is made in the United States by LED Savings Solutions, made our decision to joint venture with the two organizations an easy one. Stouch Lighting revolutionizes how lighting distributors engage with customers’ projects to offer the best LED Lighting Solutions to comply with their environment,” stated Mark Martin, President Green Garage Associates.

“We sought out a partner that would allow us to provide various financial options for our customers to include fast Return on Investment (ROI) purchases or cash flow positive financing Operating Leases that allow our customers the ability to enjoy a Capital Project that is off balance sheet while at the same time reducing existing Operating Expenses David Schmid, CEO Green Garage Associates. “LED Saving Solutions manufactures LED lighting products for the right cost that delivers fast paybacks.
