REBUILDING AN EMPIRE
Since 1970, Shat-R-Shield has continued to be the world’s leading manufacturer of shatter-resistant fluorescent lamps, pioneering the protective lighting industry with the first protective coating applied directly to the lamp. This product established Shat-R-Shield as the premier brand name for safety-coated lighting across North America. With regulations set by OSHA and FDA regulated industries, such as food processing, to protect consumers from glass contamination, nothing else on the market compared to the Shat-R-Shield product. And half a century later, Shat-R-Shield’s invention of shatter-resistant lamps still find relevance in today’s industry.
With the introduction of LEDs as a new technology in the marketplace, the use of conventional light sources began to decline. The evolution of lighting technology ignited a spark that led to the ultimate revolution of Shat-R-Shield. In 2011, that ideology spawned the business division of a conformal coating service where Shat-R-Shield selectively applies a layer of silicone to PCB and LED boards that protects fragile components from moisture and corrosion in harsh environments. Shat-R-Shield holds the patent for effectively coating over an LED chip with no consequence against its light output.
Shat-R-Shield began acclimating to LEDs by concentrating on what the company knew best: safety coatings. The benefits of converting to LED lamps were countless for consumers, until these electronics were exposed to moisture. This is where Shat-R-Shield thrives, creating a line of safety coated, IP68-rated LED lamps that offered a benefit that others did not: protection against the elements. These waterproof LED lamps could be installed outdoors for landscape lighting, washdown areas, dock lighting or anywhere exposed to harsh environments.
Shat-R-Shield, realizing that the lighting world would be forever changed by LEDs, made the decision to continue to provide safety coated lamps for its longtime customer base while also creating a separate luminaire/fixture division in support of the LED technology. The success of Shat-R-Shield’s initial interests with LED technology gave way to intensive research and development, corporate restructuring, investments in facility upgrades and a realignment of strategy that now positions Shat-R-Shield as a viable player in the realm of LED fixture manufacturers. What began as a simple offering of commodity products with Shat-R-Shield’s patented safety coating, has transitioned to comprehensive engineering of award-winning luminaires. From its unique line of corrosion-resistant Incoplas® LED fixtures designed with thermally conductive engineered polymers to its newest Ironclad® vandal-resistant and tamper-proof correctional and behavioral LED fixtures, Shat-R-Shield is gaining the attention of end users worldwide.
Today, Shat-R-Shield continues to grow under the same principles that were defined during its inception: Shat-R-Shield provides specialized lighting products to its core markets of food and beverage, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, wastewater treatment, correctional, behavioral and many other vertical markets that require lighting in harsh and corrosive environments. While Shat-R-Shield certainly embrace the transformation of its products, it is the foundation of its organization —quality, customer service and core values — that have never changed.
