ACT Lighting Inc has completed its acquisition of RHC Holdings Corp (RapcoHorizon). The announcement follows ACT Lighting’s recent acquisition of AC Power Distribution, a manufacturer of UL-listed portable power distribution for film, video, touring and exterior event venues.
RapcoHorizon manufactures interconnect assemblies, audio, data and interface products, and specialty industrial wire, which are used worldwide by concert touring sound companies, video and sound contractors, recording studios, system integrators, audiophiles and musicians. The company joins a brand portfolio that includes ProCo, RAT, RoadHog and StageMaster.
‘This industry-changing acquisition joins together two of the most respected suppliers in entertainment technology,’ says ACT Lighting President and CEO, Ben Saltzman. ‘RapcoHorizon’s “musicians serving musicians” culture perfectly aligns with ACT’s values, and we are excited that combining ACT Lighting and RapcoHorizon will expand the world-class product range that our amazing customers use to own the stage.’
‘ACT Lighting is one of the best recognised leaders in production technology and services,’ says RapcoHorizon President, Dale Williams. ‘RapcoHorizon’s brands have been the leading connectivity products for decades. Now, as part of ACT Lighting, we will be able to bring the level of service and innovation at which both companies excel to our wide-reaching customer bases.’
ACT Lighting is the exclusive supplier for MA Lighting control consoles, Clay Paky lighting, AC Power Distribution distro boxes, Robert Juliat spotlights, ChainMaster hoist motors, MDG atmosphere generators and Tourplex and Datasure lighting cable products, among others.
With the RapcoHorizon acquisition, ACT Lighting now has facilities in New Jersey, Southern California, Missouri, Michigan, Massachusetts, Texas, Canada and Mexico.
