PowerSecure International, Inc. recently announced that it has launched an expansion of its LED lighting business through the acquisition of a majority interest in a leading LED lighting development company, Innovative Electronic Solutions Lighting, LLC. Specifically, PowerSecure acquired a two-thirds controlling interest in exchange for cash proceeds of $4.4 million, while Innovative Electronic Solutions’ management team owns the remaining third. The transaction was completed back in April.
