The Global Lighting Procurement Federation's US office unveiled its plaque on MwConnect

On September 24, 2025, the unveiling ceremony of the Global Lighting Procurement Federation (GLPF) US office was officially held at MwConnect in Sacramento, California, USA. GLPF President Chen Lei personally presided over the unveiling ceremony, marking the substantive stage of the strategic cooperation between GLPF and MwConnect. Both sides will jointly promote the integration of lighting industry resources and ecological synergy in the North American market.

International platform established in North America, improving global service network

The Global Lighting Procurement Federation (GLPF) is an international industry collaboration platform jointly initiated by the Shenzhen Lighting and Display Engineering Industry Association and 65 global leading lighting companies. Its mission is to "expand the global market together with GLPF". Since its establishment, GLPF has quickly established four procurement service centers in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Bangkok, Thailand. The establishment of the US Procurement Center is a core part of GLPF's globalization strategy, and together with the planned establishment of a procurement service center in Germany by 2026, it will radiate to the EU market and form an important pillar of its global service network, further achieving the layout goal of "cross continental linkage and nearby service".

Strong alliance to provide full chain overseas support for lighting enterprises

MwConnect, with nearly 40 years of industry experience, is deeply rooted in the US market and has outstanding capabilities in lighting control, IoT solutions, and cross-border supply chain integration. The GLPF US Procurement Center has settled here, fully integrating MwConnect's local market resources with GLPF's global industry network to provide full chain services for member companies, including procurement docking, technical standard certification, market channel expansion, and supply chain finance. This significantly reduces the threshold and cost for enterprises to enter the North American market, aiming to accurately address the core challenges faced by Chinese lighting companies when entering the North American market, such as high compliance thresholds and limited channel resources.

Forward looking layout, jointly exploring new opportunities in lighting

The North American market is a highland for global lighting consumption and innovation, especially in the fields of intelligent lighting and IoT solutions, which are experiencing rapid growth. Choosing to collaborate with a strong partner like MwConnect, whose technology foresight and localized service capabilities, will help global member companies accurately grasp market trends and accelerate the strategic upgrade from "product going global" to "brand going global".

The unveiling ceremony attracted the attention of local political and business representatives as well as mainstream media in the industry. According to the plan announced by GLPF, the Federation will organize member companies to showcase at the Hong Kong International Autumn Lighting Fair in October this year, invite the President of IES from the United States to visit China and hold high-end industry exchange activities, further deepening global industrial development and cooperation.
