About Us
Christie
Lites is a stage lighting business focused on rentals and production. The company
offers its specific product mix to six different market segments (theatre, concert,
trade show, TV & film, industrial, and special event).
Christie
Lites’ consistent growth over the past 22 years has resulted in the establishment
of 9 separate locations across North America. The company has become an industry
leader in operating a multi-office network of stage lighting shops. With standardization
being one of our principal strategies, customers can expect the same technical
support and product offering in each location. Furthermore, client relationships
are not interrupted when projects are pulled from different warehouses, as Christie
Lites uses dedicated rental representatives to take care of a customer’s
needs regardless of show location.
Another one
of Christie Lites’ key strategies is staffing. As a company that is renowned
for its human resources, Christie Lites regularly attracts established industry
personnel who arrive with decades of experience. The company places a great deal
of importance on its field technicians, rental reps, operations managers and warehouse
staff, and has developed specific programs to support their growth.
Christie
Lites supplies equipment and services to an extensive client base. However, we
are particularly focused on the needs of the lighting designer and chief electrician.
These two groups form the backbone of the organization’s customer base.
At
Christie Lites, developing partnerships with our suppliers is essential. By building
strong vendor relationships we ensure that our commitment to delivering superior
quality, service and value is achieved.
Christie
Lites has built and packaged a comprehensive product line that stresses the efficient
use of truck space and extremely fast set-up time. Shows are shipped with fully
redundant consoles, spares of every kind, and equipment that has been thoroughly
tested.
We would welcome the opportunity to provide
you with an in depth explanation of the unique advantages Christie Lites can provide
your production. Please feel free to contact us at any time.
