Angstrom Lighting Celebrates 30 Years
Hollywood, CA – February 6,
2007 – Angstrom Lighting, one of the most respected full-service
lighting suppliers serving the entertainment industry, is announcing
expanded services, additional staff and a new branch office to commemorate
its 30th year in business. Serving a wide range of clients in television,
film, theatre and corporate markets, the company provides exemplary
experience, knowledge and reliability worldwide. Angstrom Lighting
started in 1977 by providing the Hollywood theatre community with
high-quality lighting and excellent service.
To mark their 30th year, Angstrom
Lighting is moving forward with the following plans:
- Investing in new equipment to help streamline rentals, sales
and distribution efforts.
- Hiring new personnel to assist with their growing client base.
- Expanding their repair department to handle higher levels of
project work.
- Increasing their level of service by opening a second warehouse;
location details will be announced soon.
In addition, Angstrom Lighting has
designed a special 30th anniversary logo to be displayed on limited
edition T-shirts and jackets. Customers can win merchandise on the
company website.
“We’re very excited about
the plans for our 30th year. By taking the business to the next
level with increased services and expanded facilities, we’ll
be able to serve a wider audience,” said Frans Klinkenberg,
president and a founder of Angstrom Lighting. “What started
out in an apartment on Fareholm Avenue 30 years ago with just a
few lights and cable has grown into a business that has touched
almost every aspect of Hollywood. It has been an honor to
work with some of the best lighting designers in the world and to
manage some of the best employees in the business.”
In an industry that has low employee
retention, Angstrom Lighting has an excellent longevity record;
most of its employees have been with the company for at least five
years, and many have celebrated more than fifteen years of service.
These employees are the backbone of Angstrom Lighting’s ability
to provide exceptional customer service that is personable, knowledgeable
and reliable.
Over the past three decades, Angstrom
Lighting has illuminated the streets of Hollywood’s Walk of
Fame as well as those of Universal Studios-Hollywood’s back
lot; they have added flair to the stages of countless productions
from Dance Kaleidoscope to Jesus Christ Superstar,
and provided drama to the Governor’s Ball and the Hollywood
Bowl. A broad spectrum of businesses and individuals depend on Angstrom
Lighting for their lighting and special effects needs.
“I first worked with Frans back
in 1980,” said Jon Sipos, Technical Manager for Thinkwell
Design & Production. “He and his team have always been
an excellent resource for me whether I was designing lights for
L.A. Ballet back in the 80s or solving problems in Atlantic City
for Thinkwell. I have always been able to rely on Angstrom to be
there for me, regardless of the size or location of the production
I’m working on.”
Angstrom Lighting serves many types
of clients around the world, including film companies, theatrical
producers and individual production designers who rely on its extensive
rental inventory to meet their creative needs. Businesses of all
types, from theatres and churches to schools and nightclubs, count
on Angstrom’s sales department to help them plan and purchase
the right lighting for their spaces. The wide-range of service and
repair offerings enable customers to keep their lighting fixtures
and systems in good working order, and the company’s educational
workshops through Angstrom University offer amateurs and experts
alike the opportunity to study with industry professionals in areas
such as lighting and projection design, rigging, console programming
and business development.
