The acquisition provides Savant with a widely recognized lighting control platform as well as a broad range of best-in class keypad offerings to complement the company’s revolutionary iOS user interface solutions for residential and commercial control applications.

“The acquisition of LiteTouch brings to Savant a comprehensive lighting control system including a broad range of aesthetically pleasing keypad solutions from a respected and recognised supplier,” says Savant chief executive Robert Madonna. The LiteTouch keypads will fully support a wide array of controlled devices including third party lighting systems as part of Savant’s ecosystem of advanced automation.

“Our sales channel has been asking for a lineup of lighting control and integrated keypad products from Savant that operate in concert with Apple iOS devices to manage and control a vast array of connected home and commercial technologies,” Robert says.

“LiteTouch is proud to join the Savant Family,” says LiteTouch vice president of sales and marketing Angie Larson.

“Savant’s acquisition of LiteTouch creates unique opportunities for industry innovation, design collaboration and product development,” Robert adds.

“By leveraging LiteTouch’s three decades of lighting control success coupled with Savant’s TrueImage interface, users will now have access to a powerful automation, lighting and media control platform.”

Savant’s automation and control solutions will gain more visibility within the electrical specifier/builder community due to the powerful brand recognition of LiteTouch in this market segment. Savant’s new lighting control group will continue to operate out of the Salt Lake City area.
