LineBridge is pleased to announce that FRM Lighting & Controls has acquired Infinity Architectural Lighting, a respected lighting agency serving the Florida market. As part of the transaction, founders Claus Brix Pedersen and Mads Schmidt will continue in their leadership roles, ensuring continuity for manufacturers, customers, and industry partners. The acquisition strengthens FRM's architectural lighting portfolio and enhances its specification and design support capabilities throughout Florida. By combining Infinity's expertise and relationships with FRM's scale and resources, the organization is well positioned to deliver greater value to manufacturers, distributors, contractors, and the design community. The teams look forward to integrating operations and leveraging their collective strengths to better serve customers across Central and South Florida while continuing to drive growth in the architectural lighting market.

LineBridge is investing in artificial intelligence technology to enhance the customer experience and improve operational efficiency across its operating companies. As part of this initiative, the company has engaged Revalgo.ai to develop an AI-powered platform designed to support inside sales, customer service, and quotation teams. The solution will initially be piloted within FRM's Georgia operations, where it is expected to streamline workflows, improve responsiveness, and reduce quote turnaround times for customers and supply chain partners. The platform is scheduled to go live in August, after which LineBridge will evaluate opportunities for broader deployment across its organization. This investment reflects the company's ongoing commitment to leveraging technology to strengthen local relationships, support its employees, and deliver best-in-class service to manufacturers, distributors, contractors, and end users.
