The challenge
How EDC helped
By using EDC’s bonding insurance, LRL doesn’t have to increase its working capital, and instead can use the money to grow. EDC’s accounts receivable insurance also gives it security when it comes to getting paid. The company is now also exploring the possibility of EDC financing for its foreign municipal clients.
The result
In five years, LRL is expected to grow substantially. There are approximately 300 million street lights installed globally and market penetration for LED technology is still growing rapidly.
With an emphasis on product reliability and performance, LED Roadway Lighting is well positioned to be a major player in its industry.
