The Company
Acuity Brands (AYI) is an industrial lighting company based in Atlanta, Georgia, specializing in innovative lighting and building management solutions.
A typical Acuity client is often an electrical contractor working on a commercial or institutional renovation.
Their priorities include meeting energy codes, sourcing code-compliant and reliable products, minimizing installation time, and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Acuity’s Contractor Select and Design Select lines are tailored to these needs, offering in-stock or configurable products that simplify decision-making and shorten lead times.
Acuity’s sales channels include independent sales agencies, in-house representatives, retail home improvement centers, and direct corporate sales. Products are delivered through a combination of distribution centers and factory-direct shipping, supported by a logistics network that includes both common carriers and an internal fleet.
The company operates through two primary business segments: Acuity Brands Lighting (ABL) and Acuity Intelligent Spaces (AIS). Across these segments, Acuity designs, manufactures, and sells a wide array of luminaires, lighting controls, and smart building technologies that serve commercial, industrial, and residential environments.
