Energy efficient lighting innovator relocates
distribution center |

Aurora, OH (June 5, 2008) - TCP, Inc., the world's largest
manufacturer of energy efficient lighting products, announces the
relocation of its west coast distribution center and warehouse to the
Massie Industrial Park in Stockton, California. The
130,000-square-foot building features state-of-the-art radio frequency
technology, 10 loading docks, and office and meeting spaces. The new
facility, which opens on July 1, will bring as many as 30 new jobs to
San Joaquin County.
Increased global demand for TCP's energy efficient lighting products
required the company relocate to a larger facility from their current
location in Sacramento. The move will allow for faster delivery to 11
western states as well as Alaska and Hawaii.
"San Joaquin County clearly has the kind of growth potential we look
for when we seek prime locations for our continued global expansion,"
said Charlie Gallagher, Director of Operations, TCP, Inc. "The
convenience of the location to the Port of Oakland provides the
accessibility that is critical to quickly receiving products and then
shipping them to our customers in the western United States."
The distribution center can house as many as 12 million lighting
products, which range from energy efficient compact fluorescent lamps
(CFLs) and fixtures to cold cathode and LED lamps.
TCP worked closely with the San Joaquin Partnership, a private
non-profit Economic Development organization, and Synergy Real Estate
Group, Corporate Advisory Group, a premier California tenant
representation and commercial real estate advisory firm, to find a
location that could accommodate the company's current needs as well as
allow for future expansion, including the addition of light assembly
operations.
"TCP is a great example of the type of fast-growing, global companies
we are working to attract to our community," said Michael E. Locke,
San Joaquin Partnership president & CEO. "They produce a high-quality,
progressive, environmentally-conscious product; they have an
international reputation for excellence and a strong commitment to
their employees. We appreciate the economic impacts and the employment
opportunities they are providing for our County and our residents."
With its focus on energy efficient lighting products, TCP is strongly
committed to sustainability in all aspects of its business, which also
factored into its decision to set up operations at the new location.
The facility is owned by ProLogis, the world's largest owner, manager
and developer of distribution facilities - a company with a focus on
sustainability that parallels TCP's sustainability business model.
