Rooted in America: QTL Expands Milford, CT Facility
In an era when American-made solutions are more critical than ever, QTL is proud to announce the expansion of our Milford, Connecticut facility, a bold investment in our ability to serve the lighting community nationwide. This expansion reflects our commitment to delivering lighting solutions that are built to last, built to specification, and built with precision.
As demand grows for high-quality, reliable products, our expanded capacity ensures that specifiers, sales agents, engineers, and lighting designers have access to advanced lighting solutions without compromise.
Honoring the Legacy of Innovation
The Tremaine family’s legacy began in 1889, when American engineering and craftsmanship first took root, a tradition that has fueled over a century of innovation in lighting technology. In 1993, QTL focused on designing and manufacturing custom low-voltage power supplies to the highest standards of reliability and precision.
That expertise evolved into the development of advanced LED lighting systems, blending performance and beauty, that have become trusted solutions for the architectural lighting community. Today, with our Milford, CT expansion, we are building on this legacy, growing our U.S. manufacturing footprint to meet the evolving needs of lighting projects across the nation.
Why the Milford CT Expansion Elevates the Industry
Our expanded Milford CT facility is more than additional square footage, it’s a purpose-built environment for innovation, precision, and collaboration. Outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment, the enhanced production floor allows for increased in-house manufacturing of our Q-CAP fixtures, QTL’s signature flexible encapsulated LED systems known for exceptional durability, precision engineering, and design versatility.
A Hub for Innovation and Collaboration
The growth extends into our Innovative Labs, where engineers, designers, and production teams work side by side to create the next generation of QTL lighting products. This integrated approach from concept to prototype to production accelerates innovation while preserving the craftsmanship our partner’s trust.
For the lighting community at large, this means access to products shaped by real-world collaboration, developed to solve practical challenges while delivering architectural beauty.
