PureSpectrum, Inc. (OTCBB: PSRU) has finalized a third party logistics agreement with wholesale distributor Ferguson that will provide the lighting company with rapid national fulfillment for its full product line.
Ferguson, founded in 1953, is a diverse wholesale distributor spanning multiple business groups, including plumbing, mechanical and waterworks contractors, kitchen and bath dealers, residential and commercial builders, large industrial businesses, manufacturers and local and state government agencies. Ferguson will begin stocking PureSpectrum’s full line of dimmable Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) at their distribution centers located in Stockton, Ca., and Front Royal, Va., during the second quarter, and the agreement with Ferguson will enable PureSpectrum to guarantee rapid fulfillment of orders throughout the United States.
The logistics agreement will expand to include PureSpectrum’s dimmable ballasts and linear fluorescent fixtures, and Ferguson will also manage PureSpectrum’s fulfillment for orders from online retailers such as Amazon.com.
“We are excited about the relationship we have been working to develop with Ferguson on multiple levels,” said PureSpectrum president and CEO Lee Vanatta. “In addition to the benefits offered by Ferguson’s expansive distribution network, we admire the reputation for excellence Ferguson has earned during its long history. Ferguson has demonstrated a commitment to adaptability throughout its history and has managed to retain its position as an industry leader by embracing new directions in corporate strategy. As the business relationship between PureSpectrum and Ferguson has been cultivated during the past few months, there is a clear synergy between the companies that I believe can be mutually beneficial as PureSpectrum increases its presence in the marketplace following the launch of our full product lines and Ferguson explores the diversification of its product offerings to potentially include energy efficient lighting.”
