Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) March 23, 2016 – Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, led by founder and President Robert Miller, is proud to observe the 10th anniversary of the company’s Lighting Resource Center in Montreal, Quebec.

Opened ten years ago and the first of their kind in the industry, Future Electronics’ Lighting Resource Centers (LRCs) offer unprecedented service and support for customers to develop LED-based applications. The LRCs offer key services including: proof of concept development, LED and system measurements, optical design and simulation, thermal design and simulation, mechanical design and simulation, basic LED board layout design and a tool loaner program. Proof of concept development consists of the LRCs being able to physically validate LED technology in applications – either with application demos, or by integrating LED technology into existing fixtures, including electronics circuit design. LED and System measurements are done in the Optical Measurement Lab, enabling LED and certain application-level characterizations. The LRCs enable customers to leverage the solid-state knowledge and experience of qualified engineers, validate designs with high precision laboratory equipment, and minimize application development cycles.

“Our Lighting Resource Centers provide expertise in every area of LED engineering required for developing LED-based lighting applications,” explained Jamie Singerman, Corporate Vice President Worldwide. “For lighting companies that want to enter the market but don’t have the optical, thermal, power, systems and LED engineering knowledge in-house, our Lighting Resource Centers can be of extraordinary value by reducing development costs and allowing companies to enter the LED lighting market more quickly.”

Singerman added, “Future Electronics‘s investment in these Lighting Resource Centers clearly demonstrates our commitment to enable customers in their quest for better and simpler lighting solutions.”

Future Electronics and President Robert Miller Recognize Longtime Employee Helmut Lippmann

Leave a comment

Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) March 17, 2016 – Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components with corporate headquarters in Montreal, Quebec, and the company’s President, Robert Miller, are pleased to recognize Helmut Lippmann, for more than 40 years of service within the organization.

Mr. Lippmann started with Future Electronics in July of 1975, as General Manager of the company’s Toronto office. Ambitiously working his way up the corporate ladder, he spent many of his early years at Future Electronics working closely with the company’s Founder and President, Robert Miller, in developing and growing business relationships with suppliers.

By 1978, Robert Miller named Lippmann a Vice President (one of only two at the time), and after several years of traveling back and forth from Toronto, he moved to Montreal in 1983 to work full time at the company’s worldwide headquarters. In the early 1980s and into the 1990s, Lippmann’s main focus was the Supplier Services group, and for the past 20 years, he has additionally been heavily involved in Inventory Management and Control.

Lippmann remains as enthusiastic today as he was when he started more than 40 years ago, and says, “Future Electronics is a great company. If you do your thing, do what you are asked to do and do it well, you’ve got it made.” He cites the fact that not one of the members of his Supplier Services group has fewer than 20 years of service with the company.

The Founder and President of Future Electronics, Robert Miller, often refers to employees as being “the company’s greatest asset.” The organization boasts many longtime employees, and milestone anniversaries are recognized with personalized cards, plaques, free meal vouchers, and other customized gifts based on seniority and length of tenure.
