GE Current expands lighting portfolio with Forum acquisition

April 14, 2021 – GE Current (a.k.a. Current), a Daintree company, has acquired Forum Inc.—a privately held architectural luminaire company based in Pittsburgh, Pa.

“Forum’s focus on providing high-quality linear solutions for architects, designers and specifiers makes them the ideal partner to expand our lighting portfolio,” said Manish Bhandari, CEO, Current. “Current will continue to invest in Forum to deliver new solutions, accelerating their growth.”

The transaction expands Current’s architectural portfolio and customization capability, says the company, and the additional U.S.-based manufacturing “provides greater breadth to its product portfolio for the architectural community”.

“Current’s commitment brings the resources that will enable Forum Lighting to continue building on our success within the specification lighting market,” said Forum president Jonathan Garret.
