First Light Technologies is pleased to announce its inclusion on the 2020 Report on Business ranking of Canada’s Top Growing Companies.
Canada’s Top Growing Companies ranks Canadian companies on three-year revenue growth. First Light Technologies earned its spot with three-year growth of 133%.
Better, Simpler Outdoor Lighting
First Light’s strong growth comes as the company has been at the forefront of solar lighting for the last 11 years. The company is a pioneer in self-contained commercial solar lights . Their approach offers the simplest way of providing outdoor lighting, coupled with overall cost savings of typically 50% or more when compared to wired lighting and no ongoing carbon emissions.
“We’re honoured to be included again this year, alongside so many great Canadian success stories. Being one of Canada’s top growing companies for a second year in a row is another confirmation that our vision for solar lighting resonates with our customers and we hear that in their success stories,” said First Light Technologies CEO Sean Bourquin. “We continue our mission to make First Light solar lighting the clear choice for lighting outdoor community spaces through our team’s commitment to our customers and to designing the best products in the market.”
