ALW acquires Northern California-based LED lighting manufacturer Neidhardt

Architectural Lighting Works (ALW) — a privately owned, international manufacturer of high-performance, commercial luminaires — announces the acquisition of Neidhardt, Inc. Neidhardt is a full-service lighting manufacturer founded in 1992 and based in Redwood City, CA.

The Neidhardt acquisition will complement and build upon ALW’s broad portfolio of primarily linear architectural LED luminaires with the addition of Neidhardt’s line of primarily decorative architectural LED luminaires.

Frank Neidhardt, founder and heretofore CEO of Neidhardt, joins ALW as vice president of product design and development.


Neidhardt will maintain its separate brand name, web presence and workforce for the immediate future. Sales and customer service for both brands will be handled by ALW.
