COLUMBIA, MD, November 6th, 2024 – As we reflect on 2024, we’re proud to share the remarkable strides LiteTrace has made in revolutionizing smart building technology. This year has been marked by strategic growth, groundbreaking innovations, and an unwavering commitment to enhancing our customers’ experience.
Strategic Growth and Expansion
The defining moment of 2024 was our successful merger with Autani, a move that has dramatically expanded our capabilities beyond commercial lighting control solutions to encompass comprehensive IoT building automation. This strategic integration has enabled us to offer our customers a more complete and sophisticated building management solution.
To accommodate our growing team and operations, we relocated our headquarters to a state-of-the-art facility in Columbia, Maryland. This move reflects our commitment to innovation and positions us to better serve our expanding customer base.
Our global footprint has grown significantly, with new market entries in Mexico, Canada, and Northern Europe. We’ve also strengthened our North American presence by expanding our Autani agency network to 23 agents across the continent. Additionally, we’ve welcomed new partners to our luminaire supplier manufacturing ecosystem, including facilities in three new countries.
