Established in 1985 and based in Calgary, AB, Canada, Pathway designs and manufactures electronics that enable entertainment and architectural lighting control systems to communicate with moving lighting fixtures and power devices, even when those products utilize different communications protocols.
Pathway products are used in applications from auditoriums and conference rooms to theatre and television, theme parks, cruise ships and concert tours.
“The technology and products of Pathway enable lighting solutions that are rapidly encompassing sophisticated lighting networks,” said Vernon J. Nagel, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Acuity Brands, adding that the acquisition was a strategic fit with Acuity Brands’ planned expansion with integrating lighting and controls solutions.
“For over 25 years, we have stretched the realm of the possible, integrating disparate lighting and controls systems for demanding theatrical and “architainment” customers,” said Dave Higgins, Pathway founder, president and chief executive officer. “We are excited to join an industry leader and begin integrating our skills and intellectual property in order to expand the market opportunity as part of Acuity Brands.”
