The company has just signed a $100 million deal with the US Hussmann Corporation which is a leading manufacturer of refrigerated display merchandisers and refrigeration systems throughout the world.
Nualight’s LED latest fridge display lighting systems can save 70% in energy savings over traditional florescent lighting systems. The improved lights also mean that maintenance costs are also greatly reduced.

It’s rapid progress demonstrates how small innovative companies can transform the interest of large businesses in energy conservation into a tremendous potential to create jobs and generate income.
