Vista Professional Outdoor Lighting, based in Simi Valley, Calif., celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.
Dan Cuñado, president and founder of Vista, grew up in Cuba, and said it was there that he developed an appreciation for American-made products.
“When my family and I founded the company three decades ago, we took pride in creating lighting products that bore the “Made in America” label,” Cuñado said. “Thirty years later, we’re still going strong, yet we haven’t sacrificed our high standards. Even as we have grown to serve customers internationally, we’ve made a promise to continue providing superior handcrafted fixtures made right here in the U.S.”
The company designs, manufactures and supplies a range of lighting fixtures, transformers, HID ballasts and accessories for lighting professionals. Those products go through a regimen of climatic, weather, electrical and life cycle tests before going into production. Moreover, the company strives for all fixtures to be built and shipped within 24 hours of receiving an order. To meet the expectation, all raw materials are housed at Vista’s production facility, which Cuñado said allows the company to be more environmentally conscious through reusing raw materials.
“As we celebrate 30 years in 2014, we’ll certainly be reflecting on the past successes, but we’ll also be looking to the future as we strive to make our products and processes even better,” Cuñado said. “We’ll also continue to be thankful for our distributors and end users. Our success is a direct result of their support.”
