What Maxxima does

Maxxima is a US-based manufacturer and supplier of LED lighting solutions focused on commercial vehicles, heavy-duty applications, and adjacent industrial and consumer markets. Founded in 1984 and headquartered at 125 Cabot Court, Hauppauge, NY, the company operates as a division of Panor Corporation and offers a broad portfolio organized into six main product categories: forward lighting (headlights, fog lights, snow plow headlights, DRLs), work lights, interior lights, warning and safety (beacons, lightbars, traffic directors, back-up alarms), stop/tail/turn and clearance marker lights, and accessories. A core technical differentiator is the MaxxHeat heated LED product line — heated headlights, work lights, and stop/tail/turn lights engineered to prevent ice and snow accumulation — supported by in-house engineering and patented designs. The firm also operates the MaxximaStyle sub-brand selling residential LED lighting (recessed lights, fixtures, outdoor, bulbs) through MaxximaStyle.com.

The business model is B2B hardware sales: Maxxima sells exclusively through a four-channel distribution network comprising aftermarket distributors, dealers, OEMs, and upfitters, with account-based pricing that requires a 9-digit billing account number. Marketing is conducted through the corporate website (with a Find a Dealer locator, product catalogs, and brochures), direct phone sales (1-866-MAXXIMA), and email. The company holds ISO 9001 quality management certification, audited by ANAB and Preferred Registrar Group, supporting DOT/SAE compliance for its commercial vehicle products. All operations are domestic (United States), the firm is privately held with no external funding rounds, and headcount is reported at 11–50 employees.
