Panasonic Lighting Americas, Inc. (PLTA), the parent company for Douglas Lighting Controls, Inc., and Universal Lighting Technologies, Inc., recently announced the promotion of Ty Anderson to president of PLTA. He will be based out of the company’s headquarters in Nashville, Tenn.
Since 2009, Anderson has played a role in positioning PLTA as a fully integrated solutions company, highlighting Internet of Things (IoT) controls, LED drivers, LED modules, and retrofit products. He also improved the PLTA supply chain to create shorter lead time capabilities.
Most recently, Anderson served as senior vice president of operations and vice president of sourcing and new product operations. Before joining PLTA, Anderson worked with Cooper Lighting and Schneider Electric. His overseas experience in Germany led to the introduction of battery-powered tools replacing traditional corded hand tools.
Since joining PLTA, one of his greatest accomplishments is installing and supporting advanced Panasonic equipment to exceed manufacturing, testing, and reliability requirements for LED products. Anderson will continue to lead the PLTA vision to accelerate the digital transition with enabled end-to-end lighting solutions.
