Optronics International, a manufacturer and supplier of heavy-duty LED vehicle lighting, has completed its acquisition of Texas-based USA Harness. A leader in trailer harnesses and electronic control systems, USA Harness serves the global transportation industry with its USA-Plus Sealed Modular Wiring Harness System and its patented USA-Plus Modular Connection System. The USA-PLUS Modular Connection System has an O-ring-style seal and secondary lock pin design.
“In less than a decade, Optronics has dramatically changed the competitive landscape in commercial vehicle lighting with its focus on technological innovation, broader options and greater value, and we’re about to do the same with harnesses,” said Brett Johnson, president and CEO of Optronics. “OEMs have become ever more adamant in encouraging us to enter the harness side of the business, because the competition in that segment has remained so limited.”
The newly acquired engineering and manufacturing capabilities of USA Harness will position Optronics to hit the ground running in North America, while fully leveraging its synergies as a global lighting and harness supplier, according to the company.
“We have watched Optronics’ exponential growth over the years and have engineered more and more harness systems for use exclusively with their lighting,” said Debby Thompson, interim president of USA Harness. “Though we’ll continue to produce harness systems that interface with all major lighting manufacturers, we’re excited to now be able to offer a fully integrated modular power delivery and lighting solution.”
