Ardron-Mackie

What Ardron-Mackie does

Ardron-Mackie Limited is a Canadian-owned LED lighting fixture manufacturer founded in 1935 and headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, just outside Toronto. The company designs and produces proprietary LED lighting solutions organized into four primary categories: shelf and gondola lighting (including the Quick Connect and MINI product lines), showcase lighting (slim-profile, tower, and rear-mount fixtures), architectural lighting (mini cove, recessed puck, pendant, and wall-wash Dorado fixtures), and retrofit solutions for upgrading existing installations. All products are built around proprietary LED light engines developed in-house, validated through an on-site Lighting Lab featuring a 2.0-meter Spektron integrating sphere and NIST-calibrated spectroradiometer, and supported by a 3D printing station for rapid prototyping.

The company sells primarily to top-tier retailers, store fixture manufacturers, architects, designers, and engineers across North America and select international markets. Its principal commercial relationship is an exclusive certified partnership with Lozier Corporation, the dominant North American retail store fixture manufacturer, which positions Ardron-Mackie as the preferred lighting supplier across Lozier's retailer customer base. Products are UL, ULc, CE, Energy Star, and DLC certified with quarterly independent factory audits, and carry a 5-year warranty on standard LED products. Pricing is quote-based with a $500 minimum order, 50% deposits required on custom orders, and net 30 terms. The company employs 11-50 people, is privately held with no disclosed outside funding, and operates from a single manufacturing facility that ships worldwide.
