Universal Lighting Technologies Announces Strategic Distributor Partnership with Schaedler Yesco

Universal Lighting Technologies, Inc., a global leader in lighting and a member of the Panasonic Group, is pleased to announce a partnership with Pennsylvania-based Schaedler Yesco Distribution, Inc. to be an authorized distributor of its complete line of innovative lighting products.

“Universal is thrilled by Schaedler Yesco’s decision to stock the Universal line. They have extensive experience with advanced lighting technologies, which makes this a great fit to sell our innovative products,” said Jeff Bristol, vice president of east coast sales for Universal Lighting Technologies. “We are committed to supporting the Schaedler Yesco team, and as an Affiliated Distributor (AD) member, we are excited about this new partnership and the collaborative sales and marketing support we can provide for mutual growth and success.”

Schaedler Yesco, a fourth-generation family and employee owned company, was founded in 1924 and is headquartered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Schaedler Brothers began as a partnership focused on purchasing, plating, assembling and selling light fixture parts. Yesco (York Electrical Supply Company), which was itself incorporated in 1944 to distribute electrical supplies, merged with the company to create Schaedler Yesco. Today, the company is a leading wholesale distributor of electrical supplies, datacomm, automation, and commercial and residential lighting products in central Pennsylvania. It has 22 sites across Pennsylvania, including key locations such as Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and Allentown.

“We are very excited to have Universal as an exclusive partner across all of our twenty-two locations in Pennsylvania,” stated Steve Shepps, Construction Solutions Manager of Schaedler Yesco. “We think their innovative energy saving products are an excellent fit with our focus towards offering energy saving solutions to our customers.”
