Neubert Aero Corp. and LED International Lighting Inc. unite for airport safety

Feb. 10--BROOKSVILLE -- A potentially lucrative partnership has begun between two manufacturing companies located in the Airport Industrial Park.

Neubert Aero Corp., a leading supplier of airport safety products, is collaborating with LED International Lighting Inc., an advanced commercial lighting manufacturer, to develop the next generation of runway closure systems.

The safety systems are deployed by airports when runways are undergoing maintenance or repair.

They consist of a portable sign, which is erected at the end of each runway to visibly confirm the closure. Current versions of these systems rely upon incandescent lighting.

LED International Lighting, a supplier of weatherproof, energy-efficient industrial LED lighting products, applied its fixture to the Neubert Aero system.

As a result, the improved lighting system provides a superior light source with a service life of 50,000 hours and greater fuel economy.

Neubert Aero is filling orders from airports throughout the United States and Canada.

"Improving our existing safety products using new technologies with support of local companies such as LED International is a win-win for both the community and our customers," said Tim Neubert, president of Neubert Aero.

The deliveries of these new updated runway closure systems began in January.

Neubert Aero expects robust demand for this next-generation safety system from domestic and international airports.
