     Title: Bill Brown Sales Teaming with Intematix for Solid State Lighting Expansion

May 22, 2008 - Niles, IL – Bill Brown Sales, foremost national sales agency in the lighting components industry, announces that it will represent Intematix Corporation, a Silicon Valley-based LED and solid state lighting component technology leader.

While finding an LED partner has been a high priority for Bill Brown Sales (BBS), identifying an independent organization with a well-developed core intellectual property (IP) portfolio was essential to the process.  Intematix has developed key IP in several product areas, including LED phosphors, phosphor lighting components and chip array on ceramic packages. Globally, Intematix is one of the few independent phosphor suppliers for the rapidly expanding LED market.  This expertise, technology and patent portfolio serves as the foundation of the Intematix product platform—a suite of integrated components driving the LED-based lighting performance curve into general illumination.

Given the strong mix of product and market expertise the two organizations bring to the table, the combined offering is a powerful one for lighting OEMs.  BBS and Intematix are immediately offering a line of proven, high-performance LEDs and lighting industry expertise to assist customers with rapid integration into existing projects, as well as adding value to challenging development projects.

"The Intematix line of commercially available products is among the brightest, most durable, and versatile in the market with unmatched color control and consistency," explains Steve Brown, BBS CEO.  "It's literally among the best dollar-per-lumen packages available," Brown continues.  "Put us to the test!"

The partnership will allow fixture manufacturers to achieve their targets for LED-based products in terms of total system efficiency, reliability, useable life, and cost. Peter Larsson, CEO of Intematix noted, "Intematix is fully committed to the success of the LED industry and solid state lighting market. With 30 PhDs on staff, a track record of innovation, and our recent ceramic-package LED and module introductions, the addition of a top-notch sales team dedicated to the lighting marketplace is simply the next logical step."

Bill Brown Sales has been representing leading component manufacturers since 1955, including: A.L.P. Lighting Components, Inc., Adam Metal Products, Kaizen Cable suspension systems, Reflek Alzak reflectors, Robertson Worldwide ballasts, Roytec Industries wire harnesses and assemblies, Tripar downlight housings, Watt Stopper/Legrand fixture-integrated occupancy sensors and Wiremaid Lite Gards™.
