Eco Engineering, the largest independent design and build engineering firm in the US energy efficient lighting industry, announced today that it has successfully completed the expansion of capabilities through an Asset Purchase Agreement with Eco-Shift Power (ECOP) of Cambridge, Ontario.

Eco Engineering has successfully integrated 15 former employees of ECOP's Sun Industries business unit and many of the lighting upgrade projects under development. The staff expansion adds Project Management resources in California, Texas, Colorado and Utah. Combined, this Project Management group has more than 30 years of experience in designing and implementing energy efficient lighting upgrades for large facilities in the industrial and institutional marketplace. Additionally, Eco Engineering has added new Field Construction Managers and installation crews in California and Texas to plan and supervise the delivery of large scale projects in the region and in Mexico. Experienced electricians and lighting technicians in both states joined the company because of its comprehensive employee benefit and training program; and to help provide significant project reach for new installations and upgrades. Eco Engineering also added new sales management resources to serve customers throughout the Western region, including hiring Steve Reeves, formerly of Philips Lighting, to the newly created position of Regional Sales Manager.

"Eco Engineering remains committed to helping our customers reduce their energy operating costs while making a positive impact on the environment," said Tom Kirkpatrick, Eco Engineering President and CEO. "This expansion adds significant expertise and geographic reach to our capabilities and positions Eco Engineering as one of the only independent energy efficient lighting firms with an international footprint to serve the North American market." Kirkpatrick added that "we welcome the new associates and look forward to delivering quality services and economic benefit to the customers and prospects throughout the region."
