Budweiser Distributing Switches to LED

Effective lighting in warehouse and office spaces is key to the safety and comfort of workers no matter the job they perform, but the high cost to operate traditional lighting can eat into a company’s profits. Budweiser Distributing, which operates a 140,000 square-foot facility in east Amarillo, has taken advantage of an Xcel Energy LED lighting rebate program that actually improved the facility’s lighting while significantly reducing monthly electricity costs. “We are dropping our electric bill by almost a third of what it was this time last year,” said Steve Williams, operations manager for Budweiser. “The lighting has also improved the efficiencies and accuracy of the warehouse, proving to be a savings in lost sales due to misloads.”
